I Only See Red

You tell me that my outlook is bleak

That my soul is so weak

I only see black outside of my head

You’re wrong; I only see red

I do look at myself in the dark

When on my skin the edge I do park

Slide it as the teeth are gradually fed

I only see red

Sometimes I just cry so much

When your memory I slightly touch

My eyes cry until my tears are dead

Until I can only see red

So you see I am not as bad off as you think

My happiness and you no longer has a link

Just because my wrist I sometimes now shred

And now I only see red
