(I think I should maybe have a trigger warning. This song includes implications of self harm.)
(Chorus)
Scarlet on skin
Drips down what's clean
I need your help
Scarlet save me
Rich red tainting
What's innocent
Splits opening
From my torment
(Verse 1)
I don't need your help now
Don't touch me, stay away
I can do it on my own
Curled in a ball every day
Breaking down and crying
But my sanity returns
When I turn to the wounds
Of red and scarlet burns
(Chorus)
Scarlet on skin
Drips down what's clean
I need your help
Scarlet save me
Rich red tainting
What's innocent
Splits opening
From my torment
(Verse 2)
All the rainbow is red
Is all that I can see
Scarlet, red, scarlet
Red is what covers me
Washed with the red blood
From clean heart and clean hands
Gives me stability
What I can't, now I can
(Chorus)
Scarlet on skin
Drips down what's clean
I need your help
Scarlet save me
Rich red tainting
What's innocent
Splits opening
From my torment
(Bridge)
Pretty red covers skin
Wash me clean, red
Wash me clean
Scarlet consuming me
Wash me clean, please
Wash me clean
Please wash me clean
(Chorus)
Scarlet on skin
Drips down what's clean
I need your help
Scarlet save me
Rich red tainting
What's innocent
Splits opening
In my torment
Wash me clean
Please wash me clean
Just to clarify, the meaning of this song is not to support self harm. Please don't hurt yourself. <3
Thanks for reading and voting and commenting. :D
So there's more than one meaning to this song. I just found a Bible verse that kind of pertains to it.
Isaiah 53:5 (NKJV)
"But He was wounded for our transgressions,
He was bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
And by His stripes we are healed."

PoetryPretty much... If I write a song I'll put it here. I've written music (on the piano) for some of these, and I'm working on others. In my opinion, the first few songs aren't as good as the ones I've written later on. Just saying. I have a list of my...
