painted red

When you don't know if to stay

You build castles with sand

For your tears will flow like falls

And wash away all that you made

You choose the road to take

While they walk the most traveled

I choose the one with gravel

My arms shake in reverence

My mind break away from distance

Is it all meant to be this way

Life leaves me mystified

Pain seems so satisfied

I'm lost in this thing

To live a truth I know

Or believe in a comforting lie

Where does my peace lie

What's to be found in being

Honest with my shattered self

I stack my happiness in this shelf

Now I am painted all red

Oh! I'm painted all red.
