lyrics

red becomes you
like a wound, like a gash
that's sewn up in a flash
it becomes you
like the wolves at the door
are still howling for more
they become you
in the dead of the night
while my guts twist up tight
I become you
and my thoughts on a whim
focus only on him
he becomes you
like the dress that you wore
crumpled there on the floor

I watch as it becomes you
everything becomes you

red becomes you
when I stare at the words
and they seem more absurd
they become you
it's a soiree of sin
on the head of a pin
which becomes you
in the small and dark hours
drying up like the flowers
I become you
until brittle and frail
until faded and pale
he becomes you
like no one ever does
like nothing ever was

I watch as it becomes you
everything becomes you

before you
I only dreamt in black and white
now you’re the incessant shade
that haunts my night
ever drowning
slowly in your shifting tide
cover me if you can from every side

whatever it is I think I see
it always somehow becomes you to me

you're nothing that I want
but everything I need
what's left to talk about
there's nothing to believe
