Scarlet draws and fallen tears
With all my pain and all my fears
I’ve wasted oh so many years
How did I end up right back here
Please don’t leave me. Yes, I’m fiending
All so haunting are my demons
So I lived without a reason
On this track my soul starts bleeding
So I’m fighting and I’m trying
Said there’s lust that’s no denying
I get sick I’m trowing up
And then I start to feel like dying
Feel my heart and yes it’s crying
Needed you but b*tch I’m lying
Needed God now I’m not lying
Out my cage a roaring lion
Roaring lion,
Roaring lion,
Feel my heart and yes it’s crying
out my cage a roaring lion
Roaring lion,
Roaring lion,
Feel my heart and yes it’s crying
out my cage a roaring lion
Scarlet draws and fallen tears
I make excuses for my dear
Heroin but she can’t save me
For the moment feels amazing
Sickening the pain she brings me
When she leaves me lonely craving
Wake up tin the morning sweating
Knowing that she’s gone already
I’m a mess but I can change
She drives me up a wall insane
She makes me want to Kurt Kobain
I’m sober living changing lanes
No longer play those hunger games
I’m changing people, places, things
So when you hear my name again
You know I’ll never be the same
Never be the same,
Never be the same
No longer play those hunger games
You know I’ll never be the same
Never be the same,
Never be the same
No longer play those hunger games
You know I’ll never be the same
Scarlet draws and fallen tears
Are in my past I’m thinking clear
My heart, my thoughts, my words sincere
I’m standing tall, I’m still right here
I’m not fiending, no more bleeding
Feeling free, released my demons
No more crying, no more screaming,
Now I live my life with reason
Live my life with reason,
Live my life with reason
No more crying, no more screaming
Now I live my life with reason
Live my life with reason,
Live my life with reason
No more crying, no more screaming
