I.see.red - Red Leech

Sweet bite it was said, will cure the ill and the weak
Believe doctors said, as the teeth were cutting me deep
So much time ahead to spend, will you find what you seek?
Another journey with an ending, though. It's an ending you can't see
All these dreams were swallowed dead
Cut open they lay before me, hollowed out my soul senselessly
Crimes masqueraded as choices
Red leeches always greedy, feasting upon all those years of clueless living
Till you're done
Walking amongst the dead, sweet paradoxical sleep
Searching for life's thread, caught up in a tragic scene
Mixed up in this blend, given choice a suppressed voice
A scent of something humane, reminds you of living, again
All these dreams were swallowed dead
Cut open they lay before me, hollowed out my soul senseless
Crimes masqueraded as choices

Red leeches always greedy, feasting upon all those years of clueless living
Till you're done
Is there a place for forgiveness? Is there a way to tame the beast?
A cure to this illness to cut out the leech
You are unaware a stalking beast is lurking by, feasts on our smiles,
smiles of past time, you are feeding it with your living , creeping down through its throat
in the end you realize, fighting to slink from the red leech
Bleeding deep
Still bleeding deep
