Crimson

Key: Bb, B
Chords used:
Intro: Gm--Eb-F- x2
Verse 1:
I feel it welling up inside
And Robert Smith lied
Boys do cry
And with blood tears in my eyes
I'm an Anne Rice novel come to life
I can't hide the monster anymore
One can only feel desolate for so long
Until one starts to change
Into something the mirror
doesn't recognize
I metamorphosize
The darkness has been
biding its time
To claim its latest victim
Fresh meat for carnal desires
To become what I became
I viewed the sun for the last time
Chorus 1:
Will you still hold me when
you see what I have done?
Will you still kiss me the same
when you taste my victim's blood?
So crimson and red
I feel it flowing from your lips
So crimson and red
Verse 3:
My heart is dead and so are you
And it pulses through
The desire to change
To deconstruct all
giving my past failings
But where to begin
Because when you live in sin
It's hard to look at saints
Without them reflecting their
jet black auras back on you
And I have is hope
My inner burn's not fading
I'll wipe the blood
from my cheek
And get on with my day
(Repeat Chorus 1)
Bridge:
And I have is hope
And all I need is time
To bury in pine under
six feet of time
The lies I told me
about myself
Claw my way out
Pick the splinters from
under my fingernails
I won't lose hope
I won't give in
Verse 4:
Just live and breathe
And try not to die again
Just live and breathe
And try not to die again
Just live and breathe
And try not to die again
And try not to die again
Chorus 2: Modulate from Eb to E
Will you still hold me when
you see what I have done?
Will you still kiss me the same
when you taste my victim's blood?
So crimson and red
I feel it flowing
from your lips
So crimson and red
My heart is dead
and so are you
(Repeat)
