Couloir Rouge

In the hall

There were pictures

Framed just like a memory

Of what was once real to me



The walls were red

Everything red

Who knew a color so pretty

Could cause such anxiety

If these walls could speak

They’d scream



I’ve been running

From nothing

Wish there was

An end to this

These walls are closing in on me

Stifling reality;

I never wanted to be anything

But these dreams aren’t just when I sleep



All the people
Frozen in the past

With these false advertisements that they tried to sell to me

On that big empty screen



Flashing all these lies,

Before my eyes,

Only stranding us desensitized

All those brilliant colors still stick in my mind



Wandering;

These corridors

In hopes of finding

Something more



A fantastic reality

Ill never posses what’s out of reach

Try to keep my head held high

Were marching forward out of line

I’m taking my steps out of time

And I’m stumbling
