Lyrics The Paper Kites

The Paper Kites

Neon Crimson

Wonder at the scarlet avenger

Who tore out all my vitals

Washed them pink and clean

Never did I see such an ugly confession

Sprung from my lips and met with open arms

Such a prize must be showered with better than 'never sure'

No I'm owing more

It's a shot of neon crimson to the brain

Lost sight in the streets of Manhattan

Walked alone through the George Square

Down the old fifth avenue

Never had I felt more alone in the big lights

I almost told you I wasn't coming home

And all the building were hiding my view of

Where I'm from and what I want

It's a shot of neon crimson to the brain

Taste me, it's not wrong to embrace me

I know I seem like a stranger

Like a song you used to sing

But here I, here I stand at your feet

And you're finding words to say

But the only thing that matters anyway

Is a shot of neon crimson to the brain
