Intro

Am, F, G (x2) X

(Verse 1)

XXXX Am

I feel it welling up inside

 And Robert Smith lied, F

 Boys do cGry and with Am

 Blood tears in my eyes FI’m an Anne Rice nGovel come to Amlife.

 I can’t hide the monsterF G

anymore.

 One can,Am only feel desolate for so Flong untGil

Asus2 One starts to change intoAm

 Something the mirror doesn't recognize.F

Metamorphosize.

G The darkness has been biding its time Asus2

 To claim its latest victim,Am

 Fresh meat for carnal desires,F

 To become, what I became.G

I viewed the sun for the last time.

(Chorus)

FWill you Gstill hold me Amwhen you see what I have done?

FWill you Gstill kiss me the Amsame,

 When you taste my victim’s Fblood?

 So cGrimson and red,

EmI feel it flowing from your Flips. (CrimEmson and red)

My heart is dead and so are you.

(Verse 2)

AmAnd it pulses through,

 The desire to change, Fto deconstruct

All of my,

GAll of my, past failings.Am

But where to begin, because when you live in sin

 It’s hard to look at Fsaints,

 Without them reflecting your Gjet black aura back on you.

AmAnd all I have is hope

My inner burn’s not fading,

FI’ll wipe the blood from my cheekG and get on with my day.

(Chorus)

FWill you Gstill hold me Amwhen you see what I have done?

FWill you Gstill kiss me the Amsame,

 When you taste my victim’s Fblood?

 So cGrimson and red,

EmI feel it flowing from your Flips. (CrimEmson and red)

My heart is dead and so are you.

(Bridge)

AmAnd all I have is Asus2hope

AmAnd all I need is Asus2time

FTo bury in pine under six feet of Gtime

 The lies I told me about Ammyself.

 Claw my way Asus4out,

AmPick the splinters from under my fingerAsus4nails.

FI won’t lose hope,

GI won’t give in.

EmJust live and Fbreathe, try not to die again.

EmJust live and Fbreathe, try not to die again.

EmJust live and Fbreathe, tryG not to die again.

I try not to die again.
