Hmmm… dug this outta my drafts. Tweaking it as we speak. Funny how fun turns to guilt 😵‍💫🫣

Gun in ya holster points a Big Black Hole

Only takes one shot ya blood turns to rot

Jumped double-back off the beaten track

Fuk taking short cuts only leaves ya dry

And the air aint clean up in that realm

Floor hits hard a long way back up

Just give in cause ya dream’s in the bin

Spinnn dirty linen everyone’s grinning

Glimpsed the finish line

Then committed a crime

But no point tryna turn back time

Might as well enjoy bein high

Verse

No-one likes the unknown

So you’re not alone

Inbetween n nowhere gone

Until you’re pulled back in

Stuck at a crossroad

Shot by a crossfire

Mocked in desire

Chorus

Left in the lurch until it hurt

Then you need someone

Now they want you back

Like it never hurt

That dart in your back

You want it back

Rap outro

Is there a better way to go forward or back

Destroyed or revived can anyone decide

Decipher the code as the bullets unload

Leave it behind rewind tomorrow

Now this is the place just to save your face

Can talk until blue won’t hold the glue

From yesterday’s hue into the new

What’s it gonna take to seal the deal
With songs that spell exactly how I feel
Done it tough but it’s not enough
Told it true n dodged the bluff
Makes me wanna huff n puff
When will the tables turn
From a slow burn outta the urn
Into the hands of the big guns
I guess they want the bubble gum
That’s what pays the biggest sum
Painted their sky with my blood
Streaks of rainbow colour
Still heaven won’t open it’s door
Going around in circles
Now I’m back at the start
Tangled in my own heart

V1

When did cruel become the new kind
Back when love crossed the line
Maybe it’s better that we can’t read minds
Who knows what we might find
I always say too much that I can’t rewind
Are we running outta time to turn it around
Or are we standing at the edge of the end
Should we leave it all behind
What’s it gonna take
Shattered glass, slammed doors
Or something more oh no
It’ll never come to that instead
I’ll be gone before the dawn


Chorus

Oh my love…why am I so downhearted
Like you’re already gone
And I can’t find my way back in
Oh my love…it’s like I’ve been discarded
Is there something that you’re hiding
I can’t find my way back in
Oh my love…your heart is so damn guarded
Take me back to where we started
Back to Red from blue, Back to Red from blue


V2

When did the our stars misalign
Back when love was colour blind
Baby what happened who turned the signs
Or did I inject the divine with cyanide
I always beat myself up ’til I’m redesigned
Are we running outta time to turn it around
Or are we staring down the barrel of a gun
Wondering around this empty town
What’s it gonna take
Shattered glass, slammed doors
Or something more oh no
It’ll never come to that instead
I’ll be gone before the dawn


Chorus

Oh my love…why am I so downhearted
Like you’re already gone
And I can’t find my way back in
Oh my love…it’s like I’ve been discarded
Is there something that you’re hiding
I can’t find my way back in
Oh my love…your heart is so damn guarded
Take me back to where we started
Back to Red from blue, Back to Red from blue

Back to Red from blue
