Scarlet Horizon

Felipe Renfro

Compositor: Felipe Inácio Queiroz

Running, nowhere, dust in my lungs
A scarlet sky, swallowing the Sun
Silhouettes of faces I used to know
Fade in the wind, then let me go

Footprints lost in the sinking sand
Every memory slips through my hands
I chase the ghosts of love and fear
But they dissolve when I get near

Under the red sky
I run, I run, but there’s no goodbye
Twilight’s holding what I’ve done
And what I'm scared to lose when night comes

Mirage of laughter, broken and thin
Reflections of wounds carved under skin
The horizon bleeds, but stays so still
A quiet storm that I can't kill

The more I run, the less I'm free
A loop of pain that follows me
Every breath’s a prayer, unsaid
In a world that’s painted almost dead

Under the red sky
I run, I run, but there’s no goodbye
Twilight’s holding what I’ve done
And what I'm scared to lose when night comes

Maybe this desert
Is just my mind
A place where the past
Won't stay behind

Scarlet sky
I run, I run
But never arrive
