[Chorus: griffy]
You're like the blood inside my veins
You make everything okay
It's like the crimson comes in waves
Can only pray for better days
You're like the blood inside my veins
You make everything okay
It's like the crimson comes in waves
Can only pray for better days
[Verse 1: griffy]
The other part of me
Haunting in my sleep
Struggling to breathe
Everything I need
What do I amount to
Living here without you?
Visions of your face
Haunt me every day
[Chorus: griffy]
You're like thе blood inside my veins
You make еverything okay
It's like the crimson comes in waves
Can only pray for better days
You're like the blood inside my veins
You make everything okay
It's like the crimson comes in waves
Can only pray for better days
[Verse 2: Knock Monsterr]
You're like the pumping of my heart
Bright red light among the dark
My red eyes are goin' weak
You're too beautiful to see
"So you can forget about me
As long as it means you won't hate me," you said
Okay, you're better without me
I'm better without your words in my head
[Chorus: griffy with Knock Monsterr]
You're like the blood inside my veins
You make everything okay
It's like the crimson comes in waves
Can only pray for better days
You're like the blood inside my veins (You and I were burning time)
You make everything okay (Underneath those crimson skies)
It's like the crimson comes in waves (You and I were burning time)
Can only pray for better days (Underneath those crimson skies)
[Outro: griffy]
You and I were burning time
Underneath those crimson skies
You and I were burning time
Underneath those crimson skies
