Faux Red Mask

You flip the switch, choose your side between heartbeats Run as fast as you can in the other direction You didn't turn but I know you heard me Paint on me the shame in my cracked up reflection I'll be as small as you require, shrink to fit A speck of ash in the pile of you, soon blown away I can't split the seas or fetch you a gift Now when you think of love, does this feel the same? I won't look in the mirror with you beside me Because I can see behind the mask you wear, the truth A wretch under wings spread angelically The time between now and when you cut me loose Stay home, stay cold Because I was made to burn you Long story told Of when loving red turns to blue
