Lyrics
Red
Like the blood that’s in your veins
That freezes when I hear your name
That’s drying on the kitchen floor
White
Like the corners of your eyes
Like a body under the ice
Little sister lying in the morgue
Nicotine house on fire
Living on a funeral pyre
Whatever at least I’m still alive
Blue
Like the smell of all your sins
Like the movement of your skinLike the rockets glare through x ray eyes
Black
Like the blood running in your shit
Like oil burning in a pit
Like your tongue so full of it’s lies
Cyanide fills the room
Dead babies on a dying moon
Whatever at least it’s nothing new
Tear stained and paper-thin
Rotten teeth in a cheshire grin
Looking like whatever the cat dragged in
(yeah yeah yeah)
