Red is On My Hands

What happened along the way?
   Blended souls
      Minds at bay
Walls built up
   Hearts torn down
Oaths are words
   Clashing frowns
I'm the one you tell all your fears to
   Can't you see just how I need you?
Watching you, from another world
   Telescopes, smiles burst
      Deep blue eyes
         Can't look inside
            Left behind
Reaching through,
   Bars separate us from the truth
      Reaching through
         I can't reach you
There'll never be enough of us
   Ashes - dust - clouds of smoke
Planets crumbling
   We could cope
Side by side - building up
   we could change it all
      Potential lit like moons on snow
Everywhere our souls be told
   Everyone would know
      There'll never be enough of us

I'm not the one you tell all your fears to
   I'm not the one you tell a thing at all
Sadness seeps 10 layers deep
   I understand your secrets keep
      I can't reach you
So sadness seeps 10 layers deep
   Red is on my hands.
