Intro: Am, F, G# (x2) X
(Verse 1)
XXXX A#m
I feel it welling up inside
F#
And Robert Smith lied,
G# A#m
Boys do cry and with
F# G# A#m
Blood tears in my eyes I’m an Anne Rice novel come to life.
F# G#
I can’t hide the monster… anymore.
A#m F# G#
One can, only feel desolate for so long until
Asus2(x) Am(x)
One starts to change into
F(x)
Something the mirror doesn't recognize.
Metamorphosize.
G(x) A#sus2
The darkness has been biding its time
Am(x)
To claim its latest victim,
F(x)
Fresh meat for carnal desires,
G(x)
To become, what I became.
I viewed the sun for the last time.
(Chorus)
F# G# A#m
Will you still hold me when you see what I have done?
F# G# A#m
Will you still kiss me the same,
F#
When you taste my victim’s blood?
G#
So crimson and red,
Fm F# Fm
I feel it flowing from your lips. (Crimson and red)
My heart is dead and so are you.
(Verse 2)
A#m
And it pulses through,
F#
The desire to change, to deconstruct
All of my,
G# A#m
All of my, past failings.
But where to begin, because when you live in sin
F#
It’s hard to look at saints,
G#
Without them reflecting your jet black aura back on you.
A#m
And all I have is hope
My inner burn’s not fading,
F# G#
I’ll wipe the blood from my cheek and get on with my day.
(Chorus)
F# G# A#m
Will you still hold me when you see what I have done?
F# G# A#m
Will you still kiss me the same,
F#
When you taste my victim’s blood?
G#
So crimson and red,
Fm F# Fm
I feel it flowing from your lips. (Crimson and red)
My heart is dead and so are you.
(Bridge)
A#m A#sus2
And all I have is hope
A#m A#sus2
And all I need is time
F# G#
To bury in pine under six feet of time
A#m
The lies I told me about myself.
A#sus
Claw my way out,
A#m A#sus
Pick the splinters from under my fingernails.
F#
I won’t lose hope,
G#
I won’t give in.
Fm F#
Just live and breathe, try not to die again.
Fm F#
Just live and breathe, try not to die again.
Fm F# G#
Just live and breathe, try not to die again.
I try not to die again.
(Chorus V.2)
G A F#
Will you still hold me when you see what I have done?
G A F#
Will you still kiss me the same,
G
When you taste my victim’s blood?
A
So crimson and red,
F# G A2
I feel it flowing from your lips. (Crimson and red)
My heart is dead and so are you.
(Chorus/End)
G A F#
Will you still hold me when you see what I have done?
G A F#
Will you still kiss me the same,
G
When you taste my victim’s blood?
A
So crimson and red,
G A F#
I feel it flowing from your lips.(When you taste my victim's blood)
My heart is dead and so are you.
