red is your drug

When the drugs come out,
The little girl hides,
Here in solitude,
She will confide,
With a razor blade that will separate the skin.

Red is your drug,
It tells you lies,
Be careful,
For it decides who lives,
And who dies,
Red is not the truth,
Not it is nothing but lies,
Red is not the truth,
You musn't look to the skies.

The red water that glistened lies,
That tear drop that fell from her eyes,
As she looked to the skies and said,
I am home.

Red is your drug,
It tells you lies,
Be careful,
For it decides who lives,
And who dies,
Red is not the truth,
Not it is nothing but lies,
Red is not the truth,
You musn't look to the skies.

But little girl rest your weary head you've come a long way,
And you've got a lot more to go,
With pretty bracelets the scars won't show.

Red is your drug,
It tells you lies,
Be careful,
For it decides who lives,
And who dies,
Red is not the truth,
Not it is nothing but lies,
Red is not the truth,
You musn't look to the skies.

If you look to the skies in seek of help,
Soon you will hear a blood-curdling yelp,
And so you have turned to the drug and the lies,
Lay down your head and close your eyes.

Red is your drug,
It tells you lies,
Be careful,
For it decides who lives,
And who dies,
Red is not the truth,
Not it is nothing but lies,
Red is not the truth,
You musn't look to the skies.

Within eyes wide shut you find truth,
And the answer my dear isn't hanging from a noose,
Within these lies I will be there to cut you lose,
And set you free,
So long as you realize you do have me.

Red is your drug,
It tells you lies,
Be careful,
For it decides who lives,
And who dies,
Red is not the truth,
Not it is nothing but lies,
Red is not the truth,
You musn't look to the skies.

For should you decide to confide in me,
You soon will see,
There is truth in me,
And within me you will find truth,
Not the like the media,
The kind you buy from a booth.

Red is your drug,
It tells you lies,
Be careful,
For it decides who lives,
And who dies,
Red is not the truth,
Not it is nothing but lies,
Red is not the truth,
You musn't look to the skies.

Red is your drug,
It tells you lies,
Be careful,
For it decides who lives,
And who dies,
Red is not the truth,
Not it is nothing but lies,
Red is not the truth,
You musn't look to the skies,
Red is not truth,
The one who trusts,
Is the one that dies,
Red is nothing,
But a bunch of lies.

Red is your drug,
It tells you lies,
Be careful,
For it decides who lives,
And who dies,
Red is not the truth,
Not it is nothing but lies,
Red is not the truth,
You musn't look to the skies.
