Couloir Rouge

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

Wish there was

A reason or rhyme

These walls are closing in on me

Stifling reality;

I never wanted 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 left us stranded,

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

I'm out of line

Taking my steps out of time

And I’m stumbling


Cause Ive been running

Off the chosen path

This memories

Are pictures to me;

These dreams aren't just when I sleep
