SCARLET (voice memo) Lyrics

Got used to talking to myself

Cuz without it there was no sound

Filled the silent room with easy melodies

To keep myself from overthinking every little thing

But maybe it didn't matter anyway

Because it always ended in the same way

I begged to dream so I dreamt

Until my eyes bled scarlet red

But then I thought about what it all meant

And how I'm more afraid of success

Got used to talking to myself

Cuz without it there was no one else

I only know what I know

And I'm scared of the things I don't

So what if nothing ever changed

Well at least I'd know it'd end the same

I begged to dream so I dreamt

Until my eyes bled scarlet red

But then I thought about what it all meant

And how I'm more afraid of success

Am I okay with living this small

At least it wouldn't be as big of a fall

Dreaming; a double-edged sword

Does it really compare to what is really out there

Go, choose fear, it's better to hide

Can't even look in a mirror so why should I try

Trying to convince me that I'm not crazy

I begged to dream so I dreamt

Until my eyes bled their scarlet red

But then I thought about what it all meant

And how I'm more afraid
