Red Graves

[Lead: Cass] [Cass] Remember to take your time Though it feels so long As we amble and cut through the years too fast to breathe We lose our chance to grieve the red As if we were dead As if our sins could be so simply shed We're so far from the promises made, but we left those that killed them behind With decades of scraping and morbid reshaping and turning blood back from wine All our mistakes Our pains and our aches The constant reminders of days long gone So easily taken for granted But we can paint over what we got wrong And forge a world of our own design Oh [Lead: Ahmed] I had to forget myself So I could be free It only takes seven years To see a stranger reflected when I stare in of the mirror to ask Is this a mask? And is it worth asking at all? Trapped in the corner Till something took over We hurt from a distance Like arrogant soldiers We thought we'd be dead But reborn in red Stand above them all Reciting the threat Though we'd love to forget The constant reminders of days gone by (I cast my soul away) As we live out the sentence we're handed We have to find meaning before we die (You won't see me beg for life today) If we are to be reborn Though you tell me it hurts (I did what all have done for you) It could be so much worse So I'll paint a future in red for you
