Woke up in a red sky dripping Mirror cracked, my face a question Yesterday? I don’t know I just remember the glass was laughing back The head is numb Red drip drip Down I go Red rivers fall like fragile rain Every drop remembers pain Copper taste becomes a song Bleeding proof I still belong Through the blur, the light breaks free Crimson tide still carries me And in the wound, I finally see I’m alive with a nosebleed Streetlight seizure in the corner of my skull Walking feels like sewing my own skin shut Life? Unfair. Predictable But blood doesn’t lie, it tells me I’m still here I write in red because black won’t hold Pages curl when the heat takes over Laughter leaks into the margins Like a secret I can’t swallow Red rivers fall like fragile rain Every drop remembers pain Copper taste becomes a song Bleeding proof I still belong Through the blur, the light breaks free Crimson tide still carries me And in the wound, I finally see I’m alive with a nosebleed Drip, drop The metronome I never asked for Every blot is a confession Every smear a prayer nobody taught me Red rivers fall like fragile rain Every drop remembers pain Copper taste becomes a song Bleeding proof I still belong Through the blur, the light breaks free Crimson tide still carries me And in the wound, I finally see I’m alive, I’m alive With a nosebleed
