Spineless and Scarlet Red

Scarlet red is all that's left of us A room where no honesty remains Still farther fetched is our return to grace Though I'd give anything to turn back these idle hands of shame So let the rain come down, let the lightning fly Rest assured your stars won't have the answers Erosion therapy, all that's left of you and me Falling down and hiding all the ways that we've gone wrong Let's watch the people point and stare at us today You know we've brought this on ourselves They'll see us crumble as we count the many ways You left us spineless and scarlet red Scarlet red Both found complicit in this mess we've made Intruders lay with us in bed Rabid yet penitent, we hide in shame And these spurious adulterations, our vile form of treason So let the rain come down, let the lightning fly Rest assured we'll never have the answers Erosion therapy, all that's left of you and me Falling down and hiding all the ways that we've gone wrong Let's watch the people point and stare at us each day You know we've brought this on ourselves They'll see us crumble as we count the many ways I left us spineless and scarlet red Scarlet red Dishonor and disgrace Shining bright for all to see Betrayal in our faces And every stop sign in between
