Dark Mark

Bleed out, reach in, shed tears,  run slow
Red eyes, red cheeks, red hands, red snow
Etch it, scratch it, carve it, half it, cut your way
Blinded by spray, blinded by spray
A swell of sadness overwhelms and slips us through to darker realms
The night I dreamt that we're all free, awake to find it cannot be

Tripping it seems, on dreams, on dreams
Dark marks appear, black spot, pig's ear
Rip it, change it, re-arrange it, cast away
Blinded by spray, blinded by spray
Hanging by your every word, to tell a tale, a little bird
While Paul he flew, poor Peter fell, without the facts into the well
No wishes left, no water there, where all could fall and none may care

Bleed out, reach in, shed tears,  run slow
Red eyes, red cheeks, red hands, red snow
Etch it, scratch it, carve it, half it, cut your way
Blinded by spray, blinded by spray
A swell of sadness overwhelms and slips us through to darker realms
The night I dreamt that we're all free, awake to find it cannot be
