Seeing Red – Lyrics

[Intro]
Rent-free living in your head
“R.I.P.”, they commented
I felt it when they said
“We only ever love you when you’re seeing red”
Blegh
Seeing red

[Verse 1]
You oughta know that I’m like a broken machine
I’m not as bulletproof as you all paint me to be
Time hasn’t frozen, why do you want me to scream?
Are you a junkie punk, medicating for free?

We’ll make you royalty
We’ll be the best of enemies

[Chorus]
Read mе all my rights
I’ll never grow tired of your grеat advice
Won’t somebody tell me what I believe?

I guess I must’ve sounded like the antichrist
Won’t somebody tell me
Won’t somebody tell me
What I believe?

[Verse 2]
No debts, all love, don’t give a fuck
My head, my heart, wouldn’t be enough
I won’t think twice
I’m afraid I’m the priest, you’re the poltergeist
We’re like one big family
Gee, thanks so much for the death threat
Do you hear the audacity?
You dummies only live on the internet
