Crimson Veins of Eden

[Verse 1]
Nails in the headboard
Names on the wall
Every touch a trial
Every breath a fall
Black lace on the handle
Of the door I never close
You trace my crooked halo
Say
"Your damage shows"
[Chorus]
Crimson veins of Eden
Running through my hands
All these pretty failures
Dripping where I stand
If every sin is written
On my broken skin
Cut the page wide open
Let redemption bleed in
[Verse 2]
Knelt in the bathroom
Mirror like a judge
Lipstick-crossed confession
Poison in the smudge
You kiss my bitten knuckles
Taste the rust and wine
Ask me if I'm human
Or just a fault line
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
Chain me to this moment
Or tear the altar down
Either way I'm trembling
Either way I drown
[whispered vocals]
If there’s a heaven in your mouth
Let it swallow what I’ve been
Let your body be the answer
That unhooks me from my sin
[Chorus]

metal, Visual kei love metal with male vocals: dual-guitar attack in dropped tuning, tremolo-picked melodies over stomping tom-heavy drums, bass grinding in the low mids. Verses sit in a tense half-time groove with whispered harmonies and dissonant chords; chorus explodes into double-time with soaring top-line and stacked gang vocals. Breakdowns use syncopated chugs, pinch harmonics, then open into a reverb-drenched, melodic bridge before one last, higher key chorus., visual kei
