“
we fall asleep with the color of the sunrise
we count the years on circles under our eyes
we dream in shades of blue and grey…
we speak in tongues of metaphors and stories
we bleed the ink of subtle allegory
we are the needles in the hay…
so many faces, so many voices
so many reasons to give this up.
this goes on and on.”

have you seen her?
the girl in the red dress
follow her down
the girl in the red dress
only if you dare
to question it all
because, the things that you think you know --
they're not at all the same in her world.
the girl in the red dress,
she'll draw you into the greens
she’ll draw you in —
to the dead of the woods
the girl in the red dress,
she's a dream, she's a nightmare
have you seen her?
the girl in the red dress

I still remember when you turned around and said, "I don't want to be around to watch you fall."
I never held it against you.
In time, I found a way to turn it all back around, I found myself and my freedom. So, don’t you come back around to pull me back down.

I live like I’m already dead,
all these broken pieces -
they remind me that i may never be whole again.
That is,
if I ever really was.
But, this is all I know.
Even when I find new paths to wander,
I still end up right back to everything that I already know.
