[Verse 1] Morning ritual, kitchen light is low Red in the glass, I don't really know What it is, but I can't let it go Numb in my hands, but I'm starting to glow They say I'm fading, but I feel so strong Something is waking, something is wrong I pick out your shirt, I tell you to stay I'm practicing power, I'm learning to take [Chorus] Crimson, crimson, running through my veins Crimson, crimson, washing out my name I want to be the one who holds the knife I want to be the one who owns the night Elevate me, then I'll elevate you I'll be the monster that you never knew [Verse 2] And now she smiles, she sees what I want To be the one, to be the dominant I close the blinds, I don't eat the food I'm getting paler, I'm in the mood To claim you, to keep you, to make you mine To cross the line, to draw the line Trust me, trust me, don't look away I'm becoming something, I'm here to stay [Bridge] (Spoken, desperate) It's in the morning, it's in the night It's in the hunger, it's in the bite Tell me to stop... tell me to stop... I can't... I won't... [Final Chorus] Crimson, crimson, take me to the top Crimson, crimson, never gonna stop I'll turn you, I'll keep you, I'll own your soul I'll be the one who makes you whole
