Red Fades Black

Never believed it was true, that I would make it thus far,

Didn't stop to think, that I'd be here today to say

My life is always evolving every day in every way

Nine to five on the clock never even gotta set my watch

The ransom note left on my front door pulled the trigger

Barrel against the face, icy metal cold shiver

It's all so clear now, foggy skies fade away

Love was never meant to last, it was designed to fade

From orange to blue, yellow to pink, red always fades to black

Never will a day pass that promises it will last

No excuses, no more lies, give me blunt forced truth

Visualize the cycle repeating itself, beginning within the youth

Starts young, finishes old but never beats around the bush

We all know we were meant to live, sometimes we need a little push
