All We Have Left

October 23, 2019

(Told from the perspective of Brain from Girl in Red)

I used to believe in you
You always knew what to do
When the world was black as the night
You held out your hand and said it's alright
You said “I'm always here for you”

But then before my very eyes
The world was stained red by your demise
All alone you've left us
With no one to defend us
Poisoned by the snake and its lies

Those days that shone gold like the sun
The days of laughter, the days of fun
It took them from us with its scheming
And its silver fangs are still gleaming
All I want to do is run

When you finally returned
It wasn't long before I learned
You weren't the same as before
You're on another side of this war
What we had was scattered and burned

There's no one else but me
That can stop the coming tragedy
I have to choose a path ahead
Before we all wind up dead
Why does it have to be me?

Red like roses, black as the skies
Our blood now spills, our innocence dies
I don't want this to be how it ends
But you've taken so many friends
Their screams erased the lullabies

And now, my love, all we have left are goodbyes
