Intro: Am, F, B (x2) X
(Verse 1)
XXXX C#m
I feel it welling up inside
A
And Robert Smith lied,
B C#m
Boys do cry and with
A B C#m
Blood tears in my eyes I’m an Anne Rice novel come to life.
A B
I can’t hide the monster… anymore.
C#m A B
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) C#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)
A B C#m
Will you still hold me when you see what I have done?
A B C#m
Will you still kiss me the same,
A
When you taste my victim’s blood?
B
So crimson and red,
G#m A G#m
I feel it flowing from your lips. (Crimson and red)
My heart is dead and so are you.
(Verse 2)
C#m
And it pulses through,
A
The desire to change, to deconstruct
All of my,
B C#m
All of my, past failings.
But where to begin, because when you live in sin
A
It’s hard to look at saints,
B
Without them reflecting your jet black aura back on you.
C#m
And all I have is hope
My inner burn’s not fading,
A B
I’ll wipe the blood from my cheek and get on with my day.
(Chorus)
A B C#m
Will you still hold me when you see what I have done?
A B C#m
Will you still kiss me the same,
A
When you taste my victim’s blood?
B
So crimson and red,
G#m A G#m
I feel it flowing from your lips. (Crimson and red)
My heart is dead and so are you.
(Bridge)
C#m C#sus2
And all I have is hope
C#m C#sus2
And all I need is time
A B
To bury in pine under six feet of time
C#m
The lies I told me about myself.
C#sus
Claw my way out,
C#m C#sus
Pick the splinters from under my fingernails.
A
I won’t lose hope,
B
I won’t give in.
G#m A
Just live and breathe, try not to die again.
G#m A
Just live and breathe, try not to die again.
G#m A B
Just live and breathe, try not to die again.
I try not to die again.
(Chorus V.2)
A# C A
Will you still hold me when you see what I have done?
A# C A
Will you still kiss me the same,
A#
When you taste my victim’s blood?
C
So crimson and red,
A A# C2
I feel it flowing from your lips. (Crimson and red)
My heart is dead and so are you.
(Chorus/End)
A# C A
Will you still hold me when you see what I have done?
A# C A
Will you still kiss me the same,
A#
When you taste my victim’s blood?
C
So crimson and red,
A# C A
I feel it flowing from your lips.(When you taste my victim's blood)
My heart is dead and so are you.
