Album: The Curse (2004)

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 mirrior doesn't recognize.
I metamorphosize. The darkness has been biding its time to claim its next victim, fresh meat for
the carnal desires,
To become what I became. I viewed the sun for one last time.

[Chorus]
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.
My heart is dead, and so are you.
[End Chorus]

And it pulses through, The desire to change.
To deconstruct all of my past failings.
But where begin because when you live in sin it's hard to look at the saints without them
reflecting your jet black auras back at you.
All I have is hope, my inner burn's not fadin,
I'll wipe blood from my cheek and get on with my day.

[Chorus]

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 and 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.

[Chorus x2]
