Red
My head is full of numbers,
my heart is full of dread
if I go from black to blue
all the rhymes
will come out new.
Red bleeds to yellow
and all the numbers are blue
the three comes in threes and
makes the nine incomplete and
the moon tells the secrets
I'm not meant to keep
it's a message of the future
and the past complete.
A half yellow star sharp
pierces my art.
The trinity within my sin
will always win.
I cannot contain myself
boxed in
I see the one's hazy
in the distance
and all the fours
inside the wall stand tall.
The eighty eight isn't fate
it's just the pain I can't erase,
a mistake
an ever growing internal ache.
It's the water in my brain that's
making me insane and I'm
chasing the rabbit
through the forest gate cause
it's never too late
to erase
times mistake.

Another lovely trippy rhyme with hints of Alice. I like the steady counting that builds and runs underneath the overall rhythm.
