Version 1
[Intro]
| Em | Bm | A | A | x2
[Verse 1]
Em Bm
Tonight the moon has rose in a crimson red
A
But roses gotta wither, so I'll live forever instead
Em Bm
And now I can't get rid of all of these thorns in my head
A
Bring on the hemorrhaging
Em A
I guess I'll live inside your memory
[Verse 2]
Em Bm
Another distorted story that ignored the deceased
A
I'll live inside of a castle, pray I'm never released
Em Bm
I'd rather kick it in the dungeon, cuz I'm that kind of beast
A
I'll bet my heart on the cards because I trust me the least
(Let it die)
[Bridge]
Em
Pressure mounting, but I'm doomed without it
Bm
Precious moments zooming by, don't doubt it
A
Rest is ephemeral, scream and shout it
The best don't sleep, I was all about it
(Let it die)
Em
But reaping keeps you tucked in the shadows
Bm
This creeping feeling of identity battles
A Em Bm
Closing in on every side of me
[Pre-Chorus]
A
Red tomorrow, red today
G
Dread, sorrow, can't turn away
N.C.
(Can't turn back...)
[Chorus]
Em Bm A
Time, I'll always be a prisoner to my ambition
Em Bm
As petals fly, I'll dance your tune
A
But hold your breath, guess who's running the show?
Em Bm A
And when this red runs black I'll ask you, was I everything you imagined?
C Em
When my time's finally up, the sun's falling down
A Bm A
I'll turn to stone again
[Verse 3]
Em
Every day's a fight to stay relevant
Bm
And it cannot last, so I'll relish it
A
And our planet's vast, but this hole's a ditch
Ya toss out the past, and you can strike it rich
Em
Nobody asked, but the mask is an alright fit
Bm
And this fiction's no disaster in spite of it
A
I stay curious, what comes after it?
So mysterious, and yet I exist
[Bridge]
Em
Hold on
Bm A
Stay beautiful, stay young
There are blades to be swung yet
Em
Rising soon
Bm
Regard the moon
A Em Bm
Reflected in the crimson sung tonight
[Pre-Chorus]
A
Red tomorrow, red today
G
Dread, sorrow, can't turn away
N.C.
(Can't turn back...)
[Chorus]
Em Bm A
Time, I'll always be a prisoner to my ambition
Em Bm
As petals fly, I'll dance your tune
A
But hold your breath, guess who's owning the throne?
Em Bm
So come alive now
A
Once again, so I can chase you down
Em
We are five minutes away from...
Bm
The end that's come
C D
Continue slashing forward I must
N.C. C G Bm Em
Or else just fade away
[Interlude]
| Em | A | A | B7 |
[Verse 4]
C
There's a drive to strive inside all of us
G
A never-ending ouroboros
B7
Sinking way deep down and it's all because
Em
I kept thinking that reaping is all there was
And is now
I gotta find a way out, escape, how?
A
Fate has a funny way of shaking the weak down
Am
Am I gonna peak now?
Future lookin' bleak, wow
B7
Somehow incomplete after all
N.C.
(Can't turn back...)
[Chorus]
Em Bm A
Time, I'll always be a prisoner to my ambition
Em Bm
As petals fly, I'll dance your tune
A
Don't hold your breath for me!
Em Bm A
And when this red runs black I'll ask you, was I everything you imagined?
Em
When my time's finally up, the sun's falling down
C Bm A
I'll turn to stone again
Em
So come alive now
A
Once again, so I can chase you down
Em
We are five seconds away from...
G
The end that's come
C D Em D G
From here on out, it's only just me and this bloodlust
N.C.
I'd rather just...
Fade away
