Red lights are gently painting my room Gracing half of my mattress that rests on the floor As I lean upon the window sill I send empty glances to strangers Only wishing for one to occupy my time Until my neighbor finishes stitching up holes in my dress In exchange for a pack of Marlboro Reds My frail bones are aching for validation Causing me to become desperate for the ability To throw my skin on the floor Tainted in prints And beg why Why it may only maintain it's survival With the touch of wicked sin Feeding off of high heels, drug store mascara, and soulless hands Red lights Why are there so many red lights?

Red Light
Red lights are gently painting my room Gracing half of my mattress that rests on the floor As I lean upon the window sill I send empty glances to strangers Only wishing for one to occupy my time Until my neighbor finishes stitching up holes in my dress In exchange for a pack of Marlboro Reds My frail bones are aching for validation Causing me to become desperate for the ability To throw my skin on the floor Tainted in prints And beg why Why it may only maintain it's survival With the touch of wicked sin Feeding off of high heels, drug store mascara, and soulless hands Red lights Why are there so many red lights?
