The water turns red and it starts to sting
But I know I deserve it so I bare through it
The sleeves stay on and I say I am coldThe water turns red and it starts to sting
I think it is the only way to not lose myself
but yet no matter if it stings or not
I still lose myselfThe water turns red and it starts to sting
am I the only one with a headache
I'm falling I only see red
