Rx
Candlelight Red Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm the edge, I'm the fall, I'm the pavement waiting to end it all.
I'm the steps on the path, the path thats led you here.
I'm the breath in your eyes, I'm the lifeless look that's in your eyes.
I'm the person you said, you never will become.

First time doesn't even matter,
Until the second time you fall,
Third time is here and gone.

Until the four feet over,
I'll take you under, take you under.

I'm your guilt, I'm your fear, I'm the person that's hating you in the near.
I'm the voices inside, telling you it's all right.
I'm the friends that you lost, I'm the things you'll do at any cost.
And I'll be right here, until your dying day.

First time doesn't even matter,
Until the second time you fall,
Third time is here and gone.

Until the four feet over,
I'll take you under, take you under.
Take you under.

I see you falling to pieces, that's when you'll need me most.
First time doesn't even matter,
Until the second time you fall,
Third time is here and gone.

First time doesn't even matter,
Until the second time you fall,
Third time is here and gone.

You know the first time doesn't even matter,
Until the second time you fall,
Third time is here and gone.

Until the four feet over,
I'll take you under, take you under.





Take you under.
