Red Ribbon

By AnarKoRn

I'll sit in the corner away from it all
No attention for me no attention at all
Hide in the darkness away from the people
I can be dark and unnoticed by all
Dark blends well and none knows until its too late
Cloaked by darkness consumed by hate
I'll serve your soul on my dinner plate

Sit down shut up and be quiet
Its such a hallow existence to be by yourself
Only by your lonesome will the hatred grow
Hide away your hate and put it on a shelf
Darkness comes to take us all
Tied in a blood red ribbon

Today I saw a girl I like, but she never will like me
I watch her talk to another he is like my brother
Perhaps I'm as a stone-faced soldier sitting in a ring rocks
Maybe I'm a broken watch that ticks and never talks
One day she will notice me but in a different light
That day one of us will die, and walk into the night

Sit down shut up and be quiet
Its such a hallow existence to be by yourself
Only by your lonesome will the hatred grow
Hide away your hate and put it on a shelf
Darkness comes to take us all
Tied in a blood red ribbon

  • A former member wrote: as i was reading this, my own memories started flashing before my eyes. and recent ones too. i mean, right from the first stanza, i saw myself right there, in the dark, next to that tree. "hide in the darkness away from the people". you did such a great job at bringing these memories to surface. i myself didn't exactly feel hatred for the other ppl, but more for myself. and that's probably the only thing that is different from our experience. other than that, i've completely felt this.
