Atreyu - The Crimson Lyrics

Complimentary "The Crimson" Ringtone

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!!
