Intro: Am, F, C# (x2) X
(Verse 1)
XXXX D#m
I feel it welling up inside
B
And Robert Smith lied,
C# D#m
Boys do cry and with
B C# D#m
Blood tears in my eyes I’m an Anne Rice novel come to life.
B C#
I can’t hide the monster… anymore.
D#m B C#
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) D#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)
B C# D#m
Will you still hold me when you see what I have done?
B C# D#m
Will you still kiss me the same,
B
When you taste my victim’s blood?
C#
So crimson and red,
A#m B A#m
I feel it flowing from your lips. (Crimson and red)
My heart is dead and so are you.
(Verse 2)
D#m
And it pulses through,
B
The desire to change, to deconstruct
All of my,
C# D#m
All of my, past failings.
But where to begin, because when you live in sin
B
It’s hard to look at saints,
C#
Without them reflecting your jet black aura back on you.
D#m
And all I have is hope
My inner burn’s not fading,
B C#
I’ll wipe the blood from my cheek and get on with my day.
(Chorus)
B C# D#m
Will you still hold me when you see what I have done?
B C# D#m
Will you still kiss me the same,
B
When you taste my victim’s blood?
C#
So crimson and red,
A#m B A#m
I feel it flowing from your lips. (Crimson and red)
My heart is dead and so are you.
(Bridge)
D#m D#sus2
And all I have is hope
D#m D#sus2
And all I need is time
B C#
To bury in pine under six feet of time
D#m
The lies I told me about myself.
D#sus
Claw my way out,
D#m D#sus
Pick the splinters from under my fingernails.
B
I won’t lose hope,
C#
I won’t give in.
A#m B
Just live and breathe, try not to die again.
A#m B
Just live and breathe, try not to die again.
A#m B C#
Just live and breathe, try not to die again.
I try not to die again.
(Chorus V.2)
C D B
Will you still hold me when you see what I have done?
C D B
Will you still kiss me the same,
C
When you taste my victim’s blood?
D
So crimson and red,
B C D2
I feel it flowing from your lips. (Crimson and red)
My heart is dead and so are you.
(Chorus/End)
C D B
Will you still hold me when you see what I have done?
C D B
Will you still kiss me the same,
C
When you taste my victim’s blood?
D
So crimson and red,
C D B
I feel it flowing from your lips.(When you taste my victim's blood)
My heart is dead and so are you.
