Scarlet Lullaby Lyrics

It's that awkward moment when you walk in a room
Everyone's staring at you
You take refuge in the first seat you come to that's empty
Sixteen and not going anywhere far
It felt good to leave the nest for a while
Thank God, within earshot of an angel
Against poison and burning
Drowning and wounding
In the ears of all that hear me
Hear Scarlet

I made an angel's wings in the sand
It was just for pretend
Until the waves came and claimed you
And gave birth to a beautiful sunrise
Then carried by the tide 'til you reached The farthest horizon
And there, on the edge of the ocean
You got caught up in the motion
Of a thousand stars at twilight...

Scarlet, your arms reach out of harms way
Like driftwood, there are splinters in the grain
And with this knife I carved Scarlet's name
Scarlet, your arms reach out of harms way
When is your luck gonna run out?
When's it gonna run out?
Now

It's clear to see I'm caught in the line of fire
Come on wake up
Wake up
