Atreyu Lyrics
"The Crimson"

I feel it well 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 mirror doesn't recognize
I metamorphoses
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

Chorus:
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 past failings
But where to begin
because when you live is sin
It's hard to look at the saints
without them reflecting your jet black auras back on you
And all I have is hope
my inner burn's not fading
I'll wipe the 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, try not to die again(x3)

(Chorus)x2

My heart is dead, and so are you!!
