intro : Gm – – D# – F – x2
verse 1 :
Gm
i feel it welling up inside
and robert smith lied
D# F
boys do cry
Gm
and with blood tears in my eyes
D# F
i’m an anne rice novel come to life
Gm D# F
i can’t hide the monster anymore
Gm D# F
one can only feel desolate for so long
Gm
until one starts to change
into something the mirror
doesn’t recognize
D#
i metamorphosize
F
the darkness has been
biding its time
Gm
to claim its latest victim
fresh meat for carnal desires
D#
to become what i became
F
i viewed the sun for the last time
chorus 1 :
D# F Gm
will you still hold me when
you see what i have done?
D# F Gm
will you still kiss me the same
D#
when you taste my victim’s blood?
F
so crimson and red
Dm D#
i feel it flowing from your lips
F
so crimson and red
verse 3 :
Gm
my heart is dead and so are you
and it pulses through
the desire to change
D#
to deconstruct all
F
giving my past failings
Gm
but where to begin
because when you live in sin
D#
it’s hard to look at saints
F
without them reflecting their
Gm
jet black auras back on you
and i have is hope
my inner burn’s not fading
D#
i’ll wipe the blood
F
from my cheek
and get on with my day
( repeat chorus 1 )
bridge :
D#
and i have is hope
Gm
and all i need is time
G#
to bury in pine under
Gm
six feet of time
G#
the lies i told me
D#
about myself
claw my way out
Gm
pick the splinters from
under my fingernails
G#
i won’t lose hope
Gm G#
i won’t give in
verse 4 :
Fm Cm G#
just live and breathe
D#
and try not to die again
Fm Cm G#
just live and breathe
D#
and try not to die again
Fm Cm G#
just live and breathe
D# Fm D#/G G#
and try not to die again
and try not to die again
chorus 2 : modulate from D# to E
E F# G#m
will you still hold me when
you see what i have done?
E F# G#m
will you still kiss me the same
E
when you taste my victim’s blood?
F#
so crimson and red
D#m E
i feel it flowing
from your lips
F#
so crimson and red
my heart is dead
and so are you
( repeat )
