Red Light

(álbum: The Art Of Survival - 2019)

It's a mean bright red light
I used to sit alone and watch the cars drive by
He'd come into the room to watch me cry
Then leave me

It's a cold dark heavy lie
Show me all the ways I can tell it right
I never knew what I'd have to hide
Until I met you

Shame on my desire
Look at what it made me do
Getting down every night
Steal and lie for you
I can see you aim high
You got me so close
Giving me high hopes
In the middle of the life I dreamt up
And the life I chose

It's a mean bright red light
I used to sit beneath and pray that time passed by
He'd come into the room to get me high and feed me

It's a cold dark empty life
Tell me all the ways I can live it right
I never knew what it meant to die
Until I met you

Shame on my desire
Look at what it made me do
Getting down every night
Steal and lie for you
I can see you aim high
You got me so close
Giving me high hopes
In the middle of the life I dreamt up
And the life I chose
