Red Dove

lyrics

Red Dove

Like a dove painted red, she flies away from me
Life is love, but love is pain, so where’s the meaning
Ruby red goes my sight, as every breath is filled with moans and sighs
All I’ve ever done is bleed it out

I bought another cage to keep you
Like a dove

Seeing red now, she’s in my head now
Pain comes from passion
Blood dries, blood blackens

Her feathers fall, the colors fade
All her pain is washed away
White again, as she should be, my bird will go her own way
But I can’t stand this ghost of mine
This bird that stayed just to claw out my eyes
But the pain is starting to feel just right

I bought another cage to keep you
So don’t let me down

Seeing red now, she’s in my head now
Pain comes from passion
Blood dries, blood blackens
Empty, desperate, I’m so wretched
This aching in my chest
With only feathers to fill it

The smell of her hair still fills my lungs
The taste of her lips still lives on my tongue
She’s my ghost, she’s my bird, and every breath is for her
My blood screaming she’s the one
