The Paper Kites - Neon Crimson lyrics

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
