In the shadows I hide, the world is so cruel With burning stares, like punishment in the sky Beauty is a burden, a weight to bear Heart in flames, I can't escape the snare The intensity of red, like a burning flame But the pain accumulates, always the same Laughing to hide what's deep inside But the sadness is a fire that I can't confide Sad like a redhead, lost in solitude Love eludes me, it's just frustration Tears like lava, corroding my soul Consumed by the fire, everything takes its toll Voices whispering, judging my being Every misstep, more pain I'm seeing A flower in the desert, no chance to grow In the midst of the storm, it's hard to show The intensity of red, like a burning flame But the pain accumulates, always the same Laughing to hide what's deep inside But the sadness is a fire that I can't confide Sad like a redhead, lost in solitude Love eludes me, it's just frustration Tears like lava, corroding my soul Consumed by the fire, everything takes its toll The intensity of red, like a burning flame But the pain accumulates, always the same Laughing to hide what's deep inside But the sadness is a fire that I can't confide Sad like a redhead, lost in solitude Love eludes me, it's just frustration Tears like lava, corroding my soul Consumed by the fire, everything takes its toll In the mirror, I see the pain reflected A phoenix in ashes, waiting to be resurrected But life is a prison, and time is a thief Crying in silence, my only relief
