Crimson

Here's a little sneak peek of a musical project todd and me are doing. I'm on rhythm guitar and singing, todd's on bass, brandon zabel on drums, brandon heinrich on lead guitar. This is a recording of one of our completed songs from last practice, not the best quality and some messups, but gives you a little idea of what we're about. Download it here

Here's the lyrics to the song, right now I'm calling it "Crimson":

Can you solve this mystery of mine?
Was this murder, or was this assisted suicide?
You aimed and fired and my heart bled dry
You blew a kiss with purest lips and watched me die

It’s a crimson moon tonight
You can see its reflection painted in my blood red eyes
I woke up last night when I heard something breaking
I went to sleep soundly but my heart just couldn’t make it
It cracked and broke, out spilled the yolk, and stained the floor

I must be drowning cuz I can’t shake this euphoric sensation
So kiss my lips; give me mouth to mouth asphyxiation
Taste me; see how bitter I’ve become

My spirit’s broken, my will is split, pit in my stomach, I’m feeling sick
Been hanging on for far too long, I can’t give in, I know it’s wrong
My brain pulsating, won’t stop creating these vivid images of you
But I’d rather feel this pain forever than forget what it feels like to love you

Plans change
Because of jealousy or lonliness or frustration or rage
Maybe if I had it all
I’d become exactly what I hate
My inspired mind is such a waste

You can call me mad but I swear I’ve never seen things quite so clear before
The steps are getting louder
Now they’re right outside my door
I move my lips to no benefit
I’m crushed on every front with no reprieve
Love never gives me what I need
