red winter from Red Winter by Hannah Norris & the Band

I can see the whiskey in your eyes
clouded up with none to see
but expansive night-dimmed skies
and those words that make me bleed
living here lights me on fire
and I will burn bright enough to bleed
because the smoke is my oxygen
and your eyes are like the seas

so tell me I'm wrong
upset little me
everything's sanguine
but melancholia fights mean

illness makes my thoughts go heavy
but it's not enough to take me down
because I will fight like hell
for I was born just for this ground
you mean more at night
more than the sunlight's sounds
the rambling country roads
always turn me around

and I don't want to be right
I can't bear to see
everything's sanguine
but melancholia fights mean

my head is permanently unbalanced
but for now my hands they are alright
she refuses to say a word
until she is out of sight
and when it rains I wonder
if it's really worth the fight
you guess so 'cause we keep going
night after night

dark wings and unblinking eyes
for all I am I'm not worthy to be
my wisdom teeth mock me at the back of my throat
and I can't understand why there is so much to need
until it's done I will never know
you break my heart like a sunburn in the sea

hold me still

so tell me I'm wrong
upset little me
everything's sanguine
but melancholia fights mean

and I don't want to be right
I can't bear to see
everything's sanguine
but melancholia fights mean
