Intro: Gm--Eb-F- x2
Verse 1:
Gm
I feel it welling up inside
And Robert Smith lied
Eb F
Boys do cry
Gm
And with blood tears in my eyes
Eb F
I'm an Anne Rice novel come to life
Gm Eb F
I can't hide the monster anymore
Gm Eb F
One can only feel desolate for so long
Gm
Until one starts to change
Into something the mirror
doesn't recognize
Eb
I metamorphosize
F
The darkness has been
biding its time
Gm
To claim its latest victim
Fresh meat for carnal desires
Eb
To become what I became
F
I viewed the sun for the last time
Chorus 1:
Eb F Gm
Will you still hold me when
you see what I have done?
Eb F Gm
Will you still kiss me the same
Eb
when you taste my victim's blood?
F
So crimson and red
Dm Eb
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
Eb
To deconstruct all
F
giving my past failings
Gm
But where to begin
Because when you live in sin
Eb
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
Eb
I'll wipe the blood
F
from my cheek
And get on with my day
(Repeat Chorus 1)
Bridge:
Eb
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
Eb
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:
