Ensign Red - Turn Around

The hammer hits the bell
Another round in hell
We spring up and we face each other
Going toe to toe
Trading blow for blow
Common currency one to another
Is red the only color that we see?
Barbed wire kisses staining all of our memories
It's the end of our road
No words left to say
Shadow boxing to a draw
Turn around and walk our separate ways
How did it get like this?
It seems a simple kiss
Was all it took to put our hearts in a stammer
Familiarity
Breeds contempt you see
Our shouting punctuated by southpaw grammar
Is red the only color that we see?
Barbed wire kisses staining all of our memories
It's the end of our road
No words left to say
Shadow boxing to a draw
Turn around and walk our separate ways
It's the end of our road
No words left to say
Shadow boxing to a draw
Turn around, walk away
Stick and stones break bones
But words can definitely hurt you
Careful whisper, quiet longings
Seem to somehow always give way to
Dancing under the covers like punch drunk lovers
The stick and move is all for show
Torn asunder loud as thunder
But neither of us can land a TKO
It's the end of our road
No words left to say
Shadow boxing to a draw
Turn around and walk our separate ways
It's the end of our road
No words left to say
Shadow boxing to a draw
Turn around, walk away
