Bitter Red

(album: Wait For Love - 2018)

Faced with such stern symmetry
Weathered skin turned burgundy
The most handsome man you ever saw
That smirk like sour razor jaw

Hold your rose and
See the fingers are starting to bend

We can move, we can't miss out, no
Before we're gone, you've meant the most, I said it all now

Faced with such soft tendency
Saved a man withdrawn like me
Love you more and I'm on my way home
Forgot everything I'll ever know

Hold your rose in
Bitter red buried it like a fact

We can move, we can't miss out, no
Before we're gone, you meant the most, I said it all now
As pure as they come, and I was after the same light you drew
It's been too much, and I could never say aloud, "that's enough"

Mercy now, mercy now, blood
Mercy now, mercy now, blood
Mercy now, mercy now, blood
Mercy now, mercy now, blood
Mercy now, mercy now, blood
Mercy now, mercy now, blood
