with misery as my witness let the crimson tears drip
as you carve into my breast with your steak knife
let the crimson tears drip
as you slowly remove what's left of my heart
let the crimson tears drip
as the pieces crumble through the cracks of your fingers
let the crimson tears drip
let the crimson tears drip.
let. the. crimson. tears. drip.
as what's left of me crumbles beneath the truth
crumbles beneath your lies
crumbles beneath the love that has died
let the crimson tears drip.
