Intro: A5 , F5 , G5 (x2) X


(Verse 1)
                XXXX   A5
I feel it welling up inside
                       F5
And Robert Smith lied, 
         G5           A5
Boys do cry and with  
                       F5                 G5            A5
Blood tears in my eyes I?m an Anne Rice novel come to life. 
                        F5     G5
I can?t hide the monster? anymore. 
        A5                         F5       G5
One can, only feel desolate for so long until 
A5 (x)                  A5 (x)
 One starts to change into 
                                       F5 (x)
Something the mirror doesn't recognize. 

Metamorphosize. 
G5 (x)                                    A5
  The darkness has been biding its time
                           A5 (x)
To claim its latest victim , 
                              F5 (x)
Fresh meat for carnal desires, 
                         G5 (x)
To become, what I became. 

I viewed the sun for the last time. 

(Chorus)
F5        G5             A5    
Will you still hold me when you see what I have done? 
F5        G5                 A5
Will you still kiss me the same, 
                           F5
When you taste my victim?s blood? 
    G5
So crimson and red,
E5                          F5          E5
I feel it flowing from your lips. (Crimson and red)

My heart is dead and so are you. 

(Verse 2)
A5
And it pulses through, 
                      F5
The desire to change, to deconstruct 

All of my,
G5                        A5
All of my, past failings. 

But where to begin, because when you live in sin
                     F5
It?s hard to look at saints,
                             G5
Without them reflecting your jet black aura back on you. 
A5
And all I have is hope

My inner burn?s not fading, 
F5                                G5
I?ll wipe the blood from my cheek and get on with my day. 

(Chorus)
F5        G5             A5    
Will you still hold me when you see what I have done? 
F5        G5                 A5
Will you still kiss me the same, 
                           F5
When you taste my victim?s blood? 
    G5
So crimson and red,
E5                          F5          E5
I feel it flowing from your lips. (Crimson and red)

My heart is dead and so are you. 

(Bridge)
A5                A5
And all I have is hope 
A5                A5
And all I need is time 
F5                                 G5            
To bury in pine under six feet of time 
                         A5
The lies I told me about myself. 
            A5
Claw my way out, 
A5                                     A5
Pick the splinters from under my fingernails. 
F5
I won?t lose hope, 
G5
I won?t give in. 
E5            F5
Just live and breathe, try not to die again.
E5            F5
Just live and breathe, try not to die again.
E5            F5           G5
Just live and breathe, try not to die again.

I try not to die again.

(Chorus V.2)
Gb5       Ab5            F5
Will you still hold me when you see what I have done? 
Gb5       Ab5                F5
Will you still kiss me the same, 
                           Gb5
When you taste my victim?s blood? 
   Ab5
So crimson and red, 
F5                                Gb5             Ab5
I feel it flowing from your lips. (Crimson and red)

My heart is dead and so are you.

(Chorus/End)
Gb5       Ab5            F5 
Will you still hold me when you see what I have done? 
Gb5       Ab5                F5
Will you still kiss me the same, 
                           Gb5
When you taste my victim?s blood? 
   Ab5               
So crimson and red, 
Gb5        Ab5                F5                       
I feel it flowing from your lips.(When you taste my victim's blood)

My heart is dead and so are you.
