Red

I find myself standing on the precipice

I find myself waiting on the crumbling cliff

I find myself knowing how the story ends

But I pursue it

I see myself flying down the stairs

I see myself, Cinderella-slippered-feet

I see myself running out of time

But I see

And I won't fall

I won't stop

I won't lie

Till I get caught

The only face I know

Is the one I have to hide

And so

I try

My best

To deny

My soul

But I'm losing

Can't leave well enough alone

Can't leave a tempting possibility unknown

Guilt and the past

Will do me in

What I want, and what I choose

What I can't help myself but lose

I watch myself knowing things I shouldn't

I watch myself skating thin ice

I watch myself changing what I do

I watch myself watching you

I hear myself saying that I'm good

I hear myself laughing that I'm fine

I hear myself choking on the truth

But I know my lines

And I won't scream

I won't slip, if I don't look down

Then I won't submit

The only face I know

Is the one I have to hide

And so

I try

My best

To deny

My soul

But I'm losing

Can't leave well enough alone

Can't leave a tempting possibility unknown

Guilt and the past will do me in

What I want, and what I choose

What I can't help myself but lose

Got to get me down

Got to get me down

Got to get me down

So far to fall
