Spineless and Scarlet Red

Scarlet red is all that's left of us

A room where no honesty remains

Still farther fetched is our return to grace

Though I'd give anything to turn back these idle hands of shameLet the rain come down, let the lightning fly

Rest assured, your stars won't have the answers

Erosion therapy, all that's left of you and me

Falling down and hiding all the ways that we've gone wrongLet's watch the people point and stare at us today

You know we've brought this on ourselves

They'll see us crumble as we count the many ways

You left us spineless and scarlet red...scarlet red

Both found complicit in this mess we've made

Intruders lay with us in bed

Rabid yet penitent we hide in shame

And these spurious adulterations...our vile form of treasonLet the rain come down, Let the lightning fly

Rest assured, we'll never have the answers

Erosion therapy, all that's left of you and me

Falling down and hiding all the ways that we've gone wrongLet's watch the people point and stare at us each day

You know we've brought this on ourselves

They'll see us crumble as we count the many ways

I left us spineless and scarlet red...scarlet red

Dishonor and disgrace

Shining bright for all to see

Betrayal in our faces

And every stop sign in between
