Red
You stole me fire
From up above
I was a liar
To tell myself you couldn't love
Now molten lava
Mixes with sand
Now that it's too late
I won't tell you who I really am
I'm feeling red
Swirling magnet emotions
Bubbling snake-oil potions
Crushing sincerity
I'm feeling red but I won't let you read me
A crispy apple
Yeah, you knew how to fall
When the leaves turned red
You didn't need much help at all
Now that you've reached the ground
You're trying to breach my mind
But sirens screech a sound
Telling me I'd better hide
I'm feeling red
Swirling magnet emotions
Bubbling snake-oil potions
Crushing sincerity
I'm feeling red but I won't let you read me
[bridge]
And the river turns to blood
As you look beyond my eyes
And I prepare for the flood
As we stand beneath the sunset sky
I'm feeling red
Swirling magnet emotions
Bubbling snake-oil potions
Crushing sincerity
I'm feeling red but I won't let you read me
I'm feeling red but I won't let you read me
I'm feeling red but I won't let you read me
Okay. I was actually a little confused when I first read this, but I think I got it now. Kind of.
I really like this line "crispy apple", especially since it persents such nice images...;D
"I won't tell you who I really am " doesn't really run with the rest of the first verse. I suppose I'm still confused with the line "I'm feeling red but I won't let you read me" but maybe it's just me. Also in the last verse, you don't need the repeation four times.
Good work

Thanks for the input. :) Yeah, if there's one criticism that best fits this song, I'd have to say "confused". I don't really even know what it's about, myself.
I had to read it a few times to get the gist of it but I did get "I'm feeling red but I wont let you read me." the first time and I absolutely loved it!
