[Verse 1] O2 - you fed me, kept me blazing Gave me everything I needed just to stay C-O - you moved through me, left me hazy The kind of compound that corrodes without a trace
[Pre-Chorus] But I’m not the thing you light and walk away from I’m not the thing you flood or suppress or contain Every element you brought into my atmosphere Just became another reason for the flame
[Chorus] You - The Crimson Five All forces that define You - The Crimson Five Carbon, oxygen, the water, the design Where is the reaction The result when you combine Crimson and alive You - The Crimson Five
[Verse 2] H2O - you came to drown the burning Thought a flood was all it took to make me still N2 - you displaced me, slow and certain Took the oxygen I needed for your fill
[Pre-Chorus] But I’m not the thing you light and walk away from… I’m not the thing you flood or suppress or contain Every element you brought into my atmosphere Just became another reason for the flame
[Chorus] You - The Crimson Five All forces that define You - The Crimson Five Carbon, oxygen, the water, the design Where is the reaction The result when you combine Crimson and alive You - The Crimson Five
[Bridge - slower, atmospheric] C-O-2 - the evidence I leave behind Every place I burned, I marked with what I am You can trace the carbon trail through space and time I was here. I burned. I am.
[Final Chorus - key lift] We - The Crimson Five All forces that define We - The Crimson Five Carbon, oxygen, the water, the design I am the reaction The result when you combine Crimson and alive We - The Crimson Five
We - The Crimson Five All forces that define We - The Crimson Five Carbon, oxygen, the water, the design I am the reaction The result when you combine We - The Crimson Five
[Outro] All five - come at me All five - still here All five - Can’t beat me All five - still alive All five - Yeah, I survived
Yeah, I survived Yeah, I survived Yeah — I survived.
