Slipped Your Mind

It started in the morning with a call to all the arms
And it continued through the afternoon
But I will give you everything I have
Everything I’ll ever have
I’m holding out to savour the one thing true
It must’ve slipped my mind
I remember now that I have seen his crooked white grin
Amongst the wealthy and wise
Inside a red room I can still smell her perfume
But I have also seen the hunger in his big black eyes
She spent her whole life waiting for the wolf to return to her door
Red was the colour of denial but she wanted some more
He was a good man or so they said
They didn’t know the devils that he kept hidden in his head
He could do no wrong
But worse he did she surprised him
It must’ve slipped his mind
The latch on his door, he left it hanging loose
And the noose tightens slowly
She spent her whole life waiting for the wolf to return to her door
Red was the colour of denial but you wanted some more
So strip out all those faceless truths just
Gimme something I can use
She spent her whole life waiting for the wolf to return to her door
You said that red was the colour of denial, but you wanted some more
