i feel it welling up inside
and Robert Smith lied
boys do cry
and with blood tears in my eyes
im an Anne Rice novel come to life
i cant hide the monster
anymore
one can only feel desolate for so long
until
one starts to change into something
the mirror doesn't recognize
i 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 victims 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
its hard to look at saints without them
reflecting your jet black auras back at you
and all i have is hope
my inner burns not fading
i 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 victims blood?
so crimson and red
I feel it flowing from your lips
crimson and red (my heart is dead and so are you)

and all i have is hope
and all i need is 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 victims 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 victims blood?
so crimson and red
i feel it flowing from your lips
my heart is dead and so are you
