Red
Nail bed stuck under the nail
Blood dripping
I can smell it
The snowflakes mock us with silence
Lips glossier than glass
Blood dripping
I can taste it
The sun tries to bury us alive with warmth
Expensive clothes on shrinking body
Blood dripping
I can touch it
The coffin dominates us with its solemness
Vibrant flowers shackled by grass
Blood dripping
I can snatch it away
The garden is a trap with no doors
Blood dripping like melted lipstick
Scars made out of skin wax
I can fake it
Special effects have never been more real
Everyone is bleeding
Blood dripping
I can flow in the pool of bodily liquid
The World looks at us like we are circus performers
