about

Are you there, god? its me, Davey.

This song is a prayer. A piece of my own fractured soul crystallized in audio format, so all can share my pain for eternity. May it reach your ears like a whisper in the darkness from the ghost of a former lover, their words as hollow as a decaying oak tree fallen deep in the mire.

They're all Crimson Promises.

lyrics

Staring at the bedroom wall
daylight slowly fades away
thinking how you left me living here alone, my life in disarray
I was just a helpless boy
searching for the perfect girl
instead i found someone who stabbed me in the heart
and tore apart my world

ooooooooooh kisses painted red
ooooooooooh crimson promises

(they're all) crimson promises
(they're all) crimson promises

searching for the morning light
trying not to go insane
waiting next to the phone, ordering my gravestone, nothing stops the pain
talking to your photograph
crying till the break of dawn
pour myself some wine to try and pass the time
the pain goes on and on and on

ooooooooooh kisses painted red
ooooooooooh crimson promises
ooooooooooh all that i have bled
ooooooooooh crimson promises

all i wanted was to share a simple life
living as your slave and dying by your side
but your wishes went beyond what i could give
and you crushed my fragile heart so you may live

(sometimes when i'm alone in the dark
i think about what beautiful ghosts we could have been
haunting this earth together for eternity
but instead you chose to stab me in the heart
and continue living your own life while i lay here
dying)

ooooooooooh kisses painted red
ooooooooooh crimson promises
ooooooooooh all that i have bled
ooooooooooh crimson promises

(they're all) crimson promises
(they're all) crimson promises
