The Crimson

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
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

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
Crimson and red
My heart is dead and so are you!

And it pulses through
The desire to change, to deconstruct
All of my, all of my past failings
But where to begin?
Because when you live in sin
It's hard to look at saints
Without them reflecting
Your jet-black aura back on you

And all I have is hope
My inner burn's not fading
I'll wipe the blood from my cheek
And get on with my day

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
Crimson and red (my heart is dead)
And so are you (all of this for you)

And all I have is hope (is hope)
And all I need is time (and 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

Just live and breathe, try not to die again
Just live and breathe, try not to die again
Just live and breathe, try not to die again
I try not to die again

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
Crimson and red
My heart is dead and so are you!

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 (when you taste my victim's blood)
My heart is dead and so are you!
