RED HOUR

In my dreams

And crawling from my sleep

Is a liminal dichotomy

A parasitic effigy

Now, I know, to do what I'm told

But it's hard not to enjoy the pain

When everybody has the same goal

So was it worth it?

Watching my blood spill under morning dawn

I thought I'd earned it

To watch you sit stand idle next to me

But at point-blank gauge

With the urge to attack

It's hard to feel alive

With a knife in your back

I guess a phantom intention

Or wrong misdirection to you

Gave me all I to see another view

My dreams are crawling from my sleep

It's a liminal dichotomy

Or parasitic effigy

Yeah, I know, to do what what I'm told

but I can't help shake the feeling that I've already been down this road

My fears are begging for release

So give what I'm needing

Another shot of treason

Yeah, that's right, I'll do what I'm told

'Cause as long as you're the leader

I'll do anything but ask for more

Always cutting phases

To ensure a state of stasis

A countermeasure always put in place

It's a lame attempt to reap and remain faceless

Keep me inside your pathetic dreams

Like a self-fulfilling prophecy

Or paradoxic enemy

Yeah, I know, you've been here before

But I just can't help myself, go on and open up the sky some more

My fears are begging for release

So give what I'm needing

Another shot of treason

Yeah, that's right, I'll do what I'm told

'Cause as long as you're the leader

I'll do anything but ask for more

Snap back, my perfect little soul

As I play the deceiver

Give me a taste of reason

Yeah, go on, another plead for more

In an encore dance of death

You're not the one that I'm aiming for

Oh, with the hit of a knife

Defy a paradigm

Don't ever think twice

About the way I've lied

Falling back to my knees

I plead for sanctity

So give me what I need

A life to sow and reap

Give me another life to please

Like a parasitic enemy

Or byproduct of haunted dreams

You should know I'll do what I'm told

And I just can't keep myself from drawing lines through every word you wrote

I won't need saving

Give me a taste of blood and I'll want you some more

But you should know

If I'm still playing

Then the rules are void and I'm going to war

Strike low

My fears are begging for release

So give what I'm needing

Another shot of treason

Yeah, that's right, I'll do what I'm told

'Cause as long as you're the leader

I'll do anything but ask for more

Snap back, my perfect little soul

As I play the deceiver

Give me a taste of reason

Yeah, go on, another plead for more

In an encore dance of death

You're not the one that I'm aiming for
