The Crimson Atreyu
Atreyu -- The Crimson (Acoustic)
Intro: Am, F, G (x2) X
(Verse 1)
XXXX Am
I feel it welling up inside
And Robert Smith lied, [F]
Boys do c[G]ry and with [Am]
Blood tears in my eyes [F]Iâ??m an Anne Rice[G] novel come t[Am]o life.
I canâ??t hide the monst[F]erâ?¦ [G]anymore.
One can,[Am] only feel desolate for so [F]long unt[G]il
Asus2(x) Am(x)
One starts to change into
F(x)
Something the mirror doesn't recognize.
Metamorphosize.
G(x) Asus2
The darkness has been biding its time
Am(x)
To claim its latest victim,
F(x)
Fresh meat for carnal desires,
G(x)
To become, what I became.
I viewed the sun for the last time.
(Chorus)
[F]Will you [G]still hold me [Am]when you see what I have done?
[F]Will you [G]still kiss me the [Am]same,
When you taste my victimâ??[F]s blood?
So c[G]rimson and red,
[Em]I feel it flowing from your [F]lips. (Crim[Em]son and red)
My heart is dead and so are you.
(Verse 2)
[Am]And it pulses through,
The desire to change, [F]to deconstruct
All of my,
[G]All of my, past failings.[Am]
But where to begin, because when you live in sin
Itâ??s hard to look a[F]t saints,
Without them reflecting your [G]jet black aura back on you.
[Am]And all I have is hope
My inner burnâ??s not fading,
[F]Iâ??ll wipe the blood from my che[G]ek and get on with my day.
(Chorus)
[F]Will you [G]still hold me [Am]when you see what I have done?
[F]Will you [G]still kiss me the [Am]same,
When you taste my victimâ??[F]s blood?
So c[G]rimson and red,
[Em]I feel it flowing from your [F]lips. (Crim[Em]son and red)
My heart is dead and so are you.
(Bridge)
[Am]And all I have is [Asus2]hope
[Am]And all I need is [Asus2]time
[F]To bury in pine under six feet of [G]time
The lies I told me about [Am]myself.
Claw my way [Asus]out,
[Am]Pick the splinters from under my finger[Asus]nails.
[F]I wonâ??t lose hope,
[G]I wonâ??t give in.
[Em]Just live and [F]breathe, try not to die again.
[Em]Just live and [F]breathe, try not to die again.
[Em]Just live and [F]breathe, try[G] not to die again.
I try not to die again.
(Chorus V.2)
[Gb]Will you [Ab]still hold me [F]when you see what I have done?
[Gb]Will you [Ab]still kiss me the [F]same,
When you taste my victimâ??[Gb]s blood?
So [Ab]crimson and red,
[F]I feel it flowing from your lips.[Gb] (Crimson and r[Ab2]ed)
My heart is dead and so are you.
(Chorus/End)
[Gb]Will you [Ab]still hold me [F]when you see what I have done?
[Gb]Will you [Ab]still kiss me the [F]same,
When you taste my victimâ??[Gb]s blood?
So [Ab]crimson and red,
[Gb]I feel it [Ab]flowing from your [F]lips.(When you taste my victim's blood)
My heart is dead and so are you.
