I Only Paint in Red Now

Lydia the Bard

Compositor: Lydia the Bard

Welcome to wonderland!
Come in, have no fear
You're one of us now!

(Haha, ha ha!)
(We're all mad here)

A lost girl inside a maze

She asks for help, but receives riddles, receives threats

Lost for days, remains unfazed
I play your game, and either way
I lose my head

Two truths and one lie
The time flies as madness descends
What begins and what ends

Who am I, who are you?
What's a lie what is true?

How do you find a way out?
When what's left appears right and what's right always wrong
Clinging to sanity, or embrace the fantasy?

You seem to walk for miles
Met with feline smiles
As grins begin to turn into scowls

(You're one of us now!)

Crimson red hearts
Stone from the start
Bet'cha they're beating now
Hatters and cards, yeah- I'll tear them apart
'Cause the fire needs feeding now

Send kind regards
Drop the facade
Everyone hear my vow
I'll embrace this wonderland crown

I only paint in red now

Wailing and tears
Sweet music I hear
Sweat beading on your brow
Now, would you deny me my right to reply?
You see- I'm not done speaking so let's see you bow!

No way out in sight
So try as I might
I'm giving up, ooh
I'll embrace this wonderland crown
I only paint in red now

Looking in the looking glass
(I trip, I fall from big to small, I just want home)
(Its not my fault!)

Chasing time it moves so fast

(You sip, you smile, just stay a while
Put down your mind and join the wild)

My threads of thoughts are fading
Impulsive webs invading
Wonderland words coming out of my mouth

(You're one us now!)

Crimson red hearts
Stone from the start
Betcha they're beating now
Hatters and cards, yeah I'll tear them apart
'Cause the fire needs feeding now

Send kind regards
Drop the facade
Everyone hear my vow

I'll embrace this wonderland crown
I only paint in red now

Wailing and tears
Sweet music I hear
Sweat beading on your brow

Now, would you deny me my right to reply?
You see, I'm not done speaking
So let's see you bow!

No way out in sight
So try as I might
I'm giving up, ooh

I'll embrace this wonderland crown
I only paint in red now

I'll speak in rhyme, if riddles you seek
I'll give you riddles, recite them for free

(Are you scared of me?)
Are you scared of me?

The clocks run out too late to wake up
You're locked under this nightmare's thumb
Begging you hide and run

What have I become?

Alice, sweetheart!
It's time for tea!

Alice?
Alice?
Alice!

Crimson red hearts
Stone from the start
Betcha they're beating now

Can someone please me show the way out?
(Send kind regards, drop the facade, everyone hear my vow)

I'm not sure who I am or how
(I'll embrace this wonderland crown)

I'm part of wonderland now
(I only paint in red now)

Chasing down sanity till I drop
(Wailing in tears, sweet music I hear, sweat beading on your brow)

Mind runs away and it just wont stop
(Now, would you deny me my right to reply?)
(You see, I'm not done speaking-so let's see you bow!)

Please I am begging you just let me out
(No way out in sight, so try as I might, I'm giving up, ooh)
(I'll embrace this wonderland crown)

I only paint in red now
