Burgundy
(Verse 1)
Sitting in her room, just longing to be free
But the evil side of her mind, will not let her be
Years of torture and years of pain
Created the monster within her brain
And it won't leave
It was created long ago
From all the abuse that she received
(Pre Chorus)
The abused child
Now an adult left like Jeckyl and Hyde
The woman is still stuck in the role of the child that she use to be
And the abuser in her mind keeps the treatment justified
Cause the woman attracts trouble wherever she goes rather it be in or outside
She stares at her wrist and the razor in her hand wanting to be free
(Chorus)
Burgundy
Flowing down her skin
Burgundy
Maybe this time she'll be free and never have to deal with this no more again
Cause that bitch in her head makes her life a living hell
Got to keep things a secret, she was never allowed to tell
And as she watches the blood dripping onto the floor
She hopes that this hell won't go on any more
She wishes the past would let her be
But it won't leave her alone, the only way she feels free
Burgundy
(Verse 2)
I'm sorry to have to do this, but I can't take the pain
No one understands this situation and I'm always the one to blame
No matter if it was my doing or not never mattered at all
I got slapped and yelled at for any tear that would fall
"That's right" the voice said from within her mind
"That damn crying will get you in trouble every time"
"You probably won't get this right either, you can't do anything good enough anyways"
"Go ahead and try it, you'll mess up today"
(Repeat Pre Chorus)
(Repeat Chorus)
(Verse 3)
Do I have to hit those hands to make you understand?
What the hell don't you comprehend?
Get that through your head for the last time again
This is easy as hell, why didn't you do it all that well?
I swear you'll get the back of my hand
(Repeat Pre Chorus)
(Repeat Chorus)
Burgundy seemed like the only way out
Nobody knew the torment in her head
Burgundy
She says "If this is what my life is, I'd rather it be over instead"
Burgundy
(Guitar Solo)
(Bridge)
Well, she finally accomplished something
She finally did something exactly right
The neighbors found her body later on that night
And all those problems she was left with long ago
Matter no longer
As the people carried her casket through the snow
(Repeat Pre Chorus)
(Repeat Chorus)
(Coda).
