These are the lyrics for my band This Is Tragedy's first album "Romance" though we are still in the recording and writing process, thus you will not hear the final versions of these songs for a while, however, here are the lyrics for those who care.
Track 1. "Romance"
(all are spoken behind piano and guitar)
I Love You. These words hurt more than any knife, or bullet ever could, because these wounds are stitched fabricated and heal, but emotional wounds are never healed, they damage us and change our very concepts of normality, so Yes, this song is about you, and Yes, I still love everything about You, but yes, I hope this hurts You, because I tried my hardest, with every Fiber in my heart, that you could tell me that things will work out for me to with that fake smile on your face disgusts me, I hate Your pity, and I hate to see you smile back at me, with all of the light still prevalent in your eyes, so even if, just perhaps, You hurt to, you plastic heartless waste of my time, just remember
I Actually Loved You
Track 2. "Love Is A Noose. Jump."
(I NEED YOU HEAR WITH ME)
IT SEEMS MY LIEFS BECOME,
A STEPHINE MEYERS NOVEL
I AM ROMANTIC TRAGEDY,
PERSONIFIED
MY NIGHTS ARE SOAKED IN
MY MEMORIES OF YOU
THIS NIGHT SKY IS MADE OF DIAMONDS
AND THEY FORM YOUR PICTURE
(You're Beautiful)
I AWAKE TO FIND
MY NIGHTMARES HAVE COME TO LIFE
BUT THAT’S NOTHING TO THE RAZORS THAT ARE
ARE YOUR LIPS
SO ANGEL COLOR MY WORLD
AND KISS MY WRISTS
Prayer cannot save you now
As I'm in your home, with
Two bullets.
ONE GUN.
(mini-breakdown)
(Chorus)
This can't be me hallucinating for
These are the Horrors that dreams are made of.
My hopeless romanticism is all that I have left
And I am pointless without You
(FRAIL LAMENTS)
SHATTER ON THE FLOOR
( AS IF A)
TRIBUTE TO MY LONELINESS
(IN A PLACE I)
ONCE FELT SECURE
I am alone...
I AM ALONE
NOW AS I SLEEP I DREAM OF YOU
AND IM MY DREAMS
YOUR LOVE TEARS OUT MY HEART
BEHIND THESE TEAR DROWNED EYES
YOUR EMBRACE
LACERATES MY SOUL
BUT THATS NOTHING TO THE RAZORS THAT ARE
ARE YOUR LIPS
SO ANGEL COLOR MY WORLD
AND KISS MY WRISTS
Prayer cannot save you now
In your home, I have
Two bullets.
ONE GUN.
(mini-breakdown)
(Chourus)
This can't be me hallucinating for
These are the Horrors that dreams are made of.
My hopeless romanticism is all that I have left
And I am pointless without You
IT'S SO HARD TO BREATH
WHEN LOVE IS A NOOSE AROUND YOUR NECK
AND YOUR ABOUT TO FALL
FOR HER
NO ONE CAN TAKE BACK TIME
I NEED THIS BACK
BUT NOT EVEN THE HANDS OF FATE CAN TAKE BACK TIME
(Hard fast outro riff)
I'VE GIVEN EVERYTHING
YOU'LL GET WHAT YOU DESERVE
(I HOPE YOU DIE)
Track 3. "My Moonlit Serenade"
Compose yourself,
Tonight we gather underneath the glimmer of this tainted moonlight
SUCH MALIGNANT RAINDROPS FALL FROM
THE PARTING NIGHT SKY
THE CLOUDS SWALLOW THE STARS
JUST AS THE MARKS ON MY NECK HAVE SWALLOWED THE LIFE FROM MY EYES
FEAR ME DEAR
(FOR I AM)
(DEATH)
I'VE COME TO TERRORIZE YOUR DREAMS
And haunt you while you sleep
TONIGHT WE MAKE THIS TOWN PAY A BLOOD PRICE
FOR EVERY ONE OF THEIR SINS
CAN YOU FEEL THE DARKNESS CREEP UP TO GRAZE THE BACK OF YOUR NECK
We're here to free your children from their, mortality
And make these young girls beautiful
Reminissions will engulf once sweet reveries
Innocence is a concept I cannot grasp
THIS GRAVEYARD'S OUR KINGDOM
WE ARE
THE CHILDREN OF THE NIGHT
SO LOST IN THE GLIMMER OF THIS CRIMSON MOONLIGHT
COME TAKE MY HAND
WITH ME
LOVE IS FOREVER
Sing and dance with me
My magical prize
Tonight only stops when we sleep
Sing and dance with me
My magical prize
Tonight only stops when we sleep
I'LL BE YOUR ROMEO
YOU'LL BE MY JULIET
WE'LL BE SO BEAUTIFUL
AND WE GET TO SKIP THE PART
WHERE WE DIE AT THE END
I'LL BE YOUR ROMEO
YOU'LL BE MY JULIET
WE'LL BE SO BEAUTIFUL
AND WE GE TO SKIP THE PART
WHERE WE DIE AT THE END
I'll be your Romeo
If you'll be my Juliet
We'll be so beautiful
And we get to skip the part
Where we die at the end
"I'll be your Romeo
If you'll be my Juliet
We'll be so beautiful
And we get to skip the part
Where we die at the end"
Track 4. "The Words I've Never Had To Say"
Goodbye, For Good,
It's been a long run
We've come so far from where we were before
But I must confess
I'LL BE HAPPY WHEN YOUR ALL GONE
So tell me how it feels
To watch your walls and your security crumble.
This is no part of your cliche'
Where will you be?
SO IF YOU ASK
I'LL BE HAPPY TO LEAVE
AND WHATS MORE
I'LL BE TAKING YOUR EGO WITH ME
I've never had the words to say
But I can write every one
Don't try to understand me
Read the writting on the walls
I know exactly what goes on!
I've always heard its the past that defines us
But life is what you make it
And thats a sentence I can belive in
SO WHAT HAPPENS WHEN
THESE LIGHTS HAVE BEEN KILLED AND THESE DAYS ARE BUT A
MEMORY THAT
BURNS INSIDE MY LUNGS
I'D LOVE TO SAY I'LL NEVER FORGET YOU
AND I'D LOVE TO TELL YOU
I'LL MISS YOU WHEN YOUR GONE (BUT)
I HAVE MY FINGERS CROSSED!
I've never had the words to say
But I can write everyone
Don't try to understand me
Read the writting on the walls
I know exactly what goes on!
LOYALTY IS NOT A COMADODY
IN THIS GRAND SCHEME OF LIFE
PRIORITIES ARE IMPORTANT
THIS IS ALL, I, HAVE!
(Breakdown)
I'm moving on from
This place that I call home
I HATE TO SOUND SO CYNICAL BUT
YOUR ALL
(DEAD)
TO
(ME)
Track 5. "Saying Sorry (Isn't Good Enough)"
Sincerly Angel I
Hope these words make you aware
Of all these endless thoughts
That drip as so as blood from my soul
Every single word that I use
I pray expresses that I still belive in
Fairytales
(And the luminecent beauty of)
Your undying light
(Interlude)
I KNOW A WHORE!
(Breakdown)
URGANCEY OVERWHELMS ME
AS I MUST
HIDE THIS FLOOD OF TEARS
BEHIND MY
COLD
DEAD
EYES
(THIS IS THE END)
OF OUR BLANK SILHOUETTE
(Interlude)
(I FEEL SO NUMB)
So I'll lose myself in the pictures on my walls
Just tonight
(ONE LAST TIME)
If only to escape into you eyes again
As cliche as it sounds
(I AM LOST IN YOU)
AND I'VE LOST A FRIEND
TO
THIS LOVE
(SO VENEMOUS)
(IN ITS BEAUTY)
WITH ALL THE AIR IN MY LUNGS
I'LL SCREAM THY NAME INTO THIS EVER HAUNTING FOG
YOU'RE SHATTERED VANITY LAY
WITH, YOU'RE FAKE REFLECTION
(MAY NIGHTMARES LAY WITH YOU)
CURSE YOUR SMILE
(I FEEL SO NUMB)
So I'll lose myself in the pictures on my walls
Just tonight
(ONE LAST TIME)
If only to escape into you eyes again
As cliche as it sounds
(I AM LOST IN YOU)
THIS HAD TO BE REAL
(LEST IT BE FAKE)
FOR IT MENT EVERYTHING TO ME
(AND BITTER)
I
(JUST)
AM
(LIKE)
DOUBTING MYSELF
(YOUR I LOVE YOU'S)
I HOPE THIS HURTS
(IVE NEVER BEEN)
PLEASE
(THIS)
DONT
(COLD)
OPEN YOUR MOUTH
(INSIDE)
(YOU) MAKE (ME) (SICK)
Track 6. "Digging A Grave That Will Never Be Deep Enough"
TONIGHT I DIED AGAIN
SUCH A FAMILAR HOLLOW FEELING RESIDES IN MY CHEST
I WOULD SLIT MY WRISTS BUT I CAN'T EVEN FEEL THE PAIN
EMOTIONAL PAIN IS SO MUCH DEADLIER
CHOKE ON YOUR HEART
JUST TO PROVE THAT YOU HAVE ONE
LONLINESS WOULD BE A PLEASANT CHANGE FROM THIS
I HOPE YOUR F**KING HAPPY
(Interlude)
Maybe I'll be better on my own
Sweet Shadow
So im doing my best to slit your throat silently in my head
Because if you belived in love
Then you'd belived in me
So I'll scratch out those diamond eyes that ever curse me
Tonight
This lie you call love
Dies
THERE IS SUCH BEAUTY IN THE WAY VERMILLION STAINS
YOUR PAPAER SKIN
PLEASE TELL ME HOW MUCH YOU HATE ME
DETSROYING EVERYTHING IN OUR HOUSE OF DOUBT
(DESTROY EVERYTHING, EXCOREATE THESE LAMENTAIONS)
ROCK, BACK AND FORTH (IN THE CONER)
STRATCH ALL THE PAINT OFF THE WALLS AGAIN
RE-COLOR, MAKE EVERYTHING PERFECT
SO I CARVE YOUR NAME (SOMEWHERE I'LL NEVER FORGET)
AS FAR AS IM CONCERNED WE ARE NOT EVEN FRIENDS
(And your lips taste of deceit and loveless love
Your body is beautiful and venomous)
YOU SAID THIS WOULD BE FOREVER
YOUR LOVE IS LOVELESS
I HATE YOUR PRETTY FACE
(Clean guitar)
I would be content to just hold your hand one more time
Look at the pattern of cuts on my arm
Look what you've reduced me to
Empty eyes accuse
And my lip trembles
As I realize
I'm alone
YOU DONT KNOW WHAT LOVE IS
(Breakdown)
THIS WILL ONLY HURT FOR A SECOND
I HOPE YOUR F***ING HAPPY
Track 7. "Apologies That Bleed From Your Pen"
SO SHOULD I BE CONCERNED
If the beauty of your crepscular ink,
SHALL NEVER SPILL UPON YOUR PEN
AND IF YOUR
(BEAUTIFUL)
Words Of
(DECEIT)
Will ever mark this page once more
TO PAINT
(A)
FAIRYTALE
OF THIS
BEAUTIFUL (TRAGEDY)
As apathy calls out from your lungs
INFATUATIONS FICTION
I AWAKE TO FIND
NONE OF MY LETTERS TO YOU RETURNED
YOUR OBVIOUS COMPLANCENCY
TEARS AT MY
(VERY CORE)
AS I
Smear the ink
ACROSS THE PAPER
And in my death, Indifference will consume, you...
AS TEARS RAIN FROM
Bloodshot eyes, I've lost myself in anguish
Beneath this bittersweet kiss
BLOOD WILL BE MY
Ink tonight
I will write a tragedy
Like this world has never seen
MY PALE (QUEEN)
AWAKES TO FRIGID AIR
TIGHTLY GRIPPING HER LUNGS
HER VACANT STARE
A FRAIL VENERMENT
THAT CAN NOT GUISE HER VEIL OF
LUST
FOG GRAY, HAUNTING EYES
PENETRATE AS I FOOLISHLY
SUFFO(CATE)
THE
PHANTOMS
THAT
HAUNT
MY
SHADOW
WHISPERING BITTERSWEET MELODIES
My amourous is hopeless
I'm hopeless
For I've lost you
My belle.
I could barely keep my hand from shaking long enough to sit down and write you this letter
(THE DECAYING LIGHT OF MY UNDIEING LOVE CASCADES OVER AND UNDER MY THOUGHTS AS THEY SPILL UPON THE PAGE)
I am lost in her stare
AS TEARS RAIN FROM
Bloodshot eyes
I've lost myself in anguish
Beneath this bittersweet kiss
BLOOD WILL BE MY
Ink tonight
I will write
A tragedy
Like this world has never seen
I AM ENRAPTURED BY
The avarice of your presence,
Its all consuming
A Beauty
SO TAINTED
OH VANITY
Thy name is hers
(Interlude)
"Dear Love I know these words will never reach you"
I HAVE LEARNED TO FEAR BEUTY
FOR HER SMILE IS THE MEANS TO MY DEMISE
THE BLOOD
I USED TO WRITE ON THESE WALLS
CAME STRAIGHT FROM THE WHOLE YOU LEFT IN MY HEART
YOU LEFT WHEN YOU
SAW MY ARMS COVERED IN SCARS
WHO KNEW SILENCE
COULD CUT SO DEEP?
(Piano underneath the following paragraph which is spoken as if being read aloud)
"Dear Love,
I know these words will never reach you, and im sure you no longer care, but as the dawning sky becomes a dusk so dark and terrifiing, my smile fades into the black of the night. I'm so cold, and I'm so frightend, as the air now reeks with the scent of your foul memory, and yet, you still haunt my every thought. To think one kiss could kill me, that your one smile could curse me to the grave, this is my downfall, how easily love consumes me. I was once told that love can save my life, but tonight, it takes it away, as my soul drops unto the floor, I make a final cross, fall to my knees, and whisper, your bittersweet name. My dearest love if these words somehow reach you, assume I still love you, and assume I am in the warm clutches of death
Sincerly Yours,
Forever"
Track 8. "Life In Black And White Pt 1"
I sing these words to you with tears in my eyes
No words can I ever write
Will help you understand the things I've done tonight
And I know in the bottom of my heart we all die
Then maybe I'll mean something to someone
But I'll never be good enough for you
Will you ever change?
I'd let you tear out my heart and carve your name on the side
Just to see you smile
I'd give you every line I ever wrote, and every song I've ever sang
Just to hear your voice
Because I know Love Will Kill Us All
So just sing me to sleep
La, La La, La, La
And this is everything,
I wanted to tell you,
Forever isn't as long as you made it out to be
And I am lost without you here
I lived through the pain
Of promises you never kept
And now I feel ugly
And your ugly just like me
And your just like me...
And your JUST like me...
And Your Just Like Me
(Piano Solo)
I'd let you tear out my heart and carve your name on the side
Just to see you smile
I'd give you every line I ever wrote, and every song I've ever sang
Just to hear your voice
Because I know Love Will Kill Us All
So just sing me to sleep
La, La La, La, La
I Hold This Failure In Both Hands
This Is My Life Written In Black And White
Track 9. "Not A Second Glance"
OVER THE YEARS I HAVE FOUND YOU FAR TO SHALLOW
To drown me in all of your failures
YOUR TACT, IS SECOND TO NONE
Don't think that they'll forget you
YOU'VE LOST MORE SLEEP THAN YOU CAN AFFORD
THIS IS ME REACHING OUT TO YOU
My intentions
ARE ALL FOR YOU
I'm no longer responsible
For the mistakes that you make, on your own
If you can't
Make it perfect
WELL THEN DIE FOR ALL I CARE
And I've got a 50 doller bill that says
Your in you backyard starting fist fights
At the end of another Sleepless night
Drowning yourself (LIKE YOU ALWAYS DO)
In the so called sympathy of friends who never loved you
Even half as much as I did
SO IF YOU EVER CHANGE YOUR WICKED WAYS
THEN I SWEAR
I'll give you every apology, that your ears could handle
SO I HOPE YOU THINK OF ME
WHEN YOU FORGET TO WEAR YOUR SEATBELT!
(Breakdown)
AND ALL YOUR FOLLIES OF THE LAST NINE YEARS
COME CRASHING THROUGH YOUR WINDSHELD WITH YOU
And I've got a 50 doller bill that says
Your in you backyard starting fist fights
At the end of another Sleepless night
Drowning yourself (LIKE YOU ALWAYS DO)
In the so called sympathy of friends who never loved you
Even half as much as I did
"I'D TELL YOU YOUR GOING NOWHERE FAST BUT I JUST DON'T SEE THE POINT, I TRIED TO HOLD YOUR HAND THROUGH ALL OF IT, SO I HOPE ONE DAY YOU HEAR THIS SONG AND REALIZE"
IT WAS ALL FOR YOU
(It was all for you)
Track 10. "This Aphotic Amour"
Dead rose pedals on the steps
A testment to how long I've been gone
Tonight
You are
Everything
Darkness is my companion
Upon this
Most ominous of evenings
My feet are slipping....
EYELINER RUNS DOWN YOUR FACE
SALT WATER STAINS YOUR CHEEKS
TEAR PATHS RUBBED RAW
(RUN DOWN YOUR)
SWEET COMPOSURE
AND IN THIS MOMENT
I AM LOST IN THE TRUTH OF YOUR BLANK GAZE
SO ENGULED BY SORROW
YET YOU STILL EXHUME SUCH RADIENCE
I RETURN YOUR IMMORTAL GLARE
VOICING DISCONTENT
AT YOUR FUTILE EFFORT TO REPAIR FRAIL WINGS
SHATTERED IN CONSEQUENCE TO AN ASPERSERS VANITY
SCREAMS ENGULF SHOUTS
NOW SOAKED IN SYMPATHY
AS I LAY AT YOUR FEET
And you've never looked,
(SO GORGEOUS)
The tears I have anxiously wiped from your eyes
Are the most lovely shade of scarlet
THE GNARLED ROMANCE OF
My Love, unseen (x2)
I pray the words I wrote for you
ARE ENOUGH TO SHOW
(YOU)
That Tulips are better than roses
In beauty and in Death
(BEHIND)
SIX FEET OF
Solid glass
Looking out I see a lonely girl
And as I
Try to scream for her
(I AM PARALIZED BY)
Her elegant Artistry
(WITHOUT REGRET)
I, drape myself in, ascetic demeanor, to escape from this sick reflection
(I'll, Gouge, Out, My Eye's With, Razor, Blades)
TO GAZE UPON YOU NO MORE
(YOU ARE A PART OF MY FADED TAPESTRY)
I AM FOREVER YOURS, MORTALITY CAN NOT HOLD US FROM THIS LOVE, UNPURE
I, ONLY WANTED TO MAKE YOU PROUD
I, ONLY WANTED TO MAKE YOU SMILE
The tears I have anxiously wiped from your eyes
Are the most lovely shade of scarlet
THE GNARLED ROMANCE OF
My Love, unseen (x2)
I pray the words I wrote for you
ARE ENOUGH TO SHOW
(YOU)
That Tulips are better than roses
In beauty and in Death
(BEHIND)
SIX FEET OF
Solid glass
Looking out I see a lonely girl
And as I
Try to scream for her
(I AM PARALIZED BY)
Her elegant Artistry
(WITHOUT REGRET)
(Piano)
Dead rose pedals on the steps
A testment to how long I've been gone
Tonight
You are
Everything
Darkness is my companion
Upon this
Most ominous of evenings
My feet are slipping....
THESE SCARS, ARE MY GROSTESQUE LOVE LAID BEAR
APHOTIC TO THE END, THIS IS WHAT I DESERVE
Track 11. "The Longest Year Of Our Lives"
Been through alot in the past year
And I've still got a hell of a lot to say
About the way you keep running your mouth
I've read these stories ten thousand times before
And I've re-written every one
Because in my story
Just for once....
The Nice guy gets the girl
SHOULD I APOLOGIZE?
FOR JUST BEING HONEST
AND AFTER ALL THIS TIME YOU STILL THINK YOUR NOT ALONE
When just the sight of you has made me sick tonight (TONGIHT)
SO I'VE LEARNED A COUPLE LESSONS IN LIFE
(MY FRIENDS COME FIRST)
AND LOVE IS JUST DEATH'S BEAUTIFUL SISTER
(AND IF YOU MUST)
AT LEAST STAB THEM IN THE CHEST
So will see if I can fall asleep tonight
At all...
(Short interlude)
And I swear
This better be worth it
It's been
Such a long year for all of us
Will you be there for me?
(If im there for you?)
WITH SUCH PATHETIC LIES
I SWEAR I'LL CHANGE YOUR MIND
BECAUSE THIS FARCE HAS DRAGGED ON FAR TO LONG
YOU TURNED ME INTO THIS
I AM A PRODUCT OF YOUR CREATION
I AM THE OUTCOME
OF WHEN HATE MET INFATUATION
So is it my fault?
Or should I blame you?
Should I?
So I'll roll the dice to see if I'll let it go...
Tonight
SWALLOW YOUR PRIDE!
And I swear
This better be worth it
It been
Such a long year for all of us
Will you be there for me?
(If im there for you?)
DONT EVER THINK YOU CAN TURN YOUR BACK ON US
CAUSE I SWEAR THAT
"THIS IS WORTH IT!"
(Breakdown)
"And I swear
This better be worth it
It been
Such a long year for all of us
Will you be there for me?
If im there for you?"
And I swear
This better be worth it
It been
Such a long year for all of us
Will you be there for me?
If im there for you?
BEEN THROUGH ALOT IN THE PAST YEAR
AND I'VE STILL GOT A HELL OF ALOT TO SAY
Track 12. "I Fell For The Arsonists Daughter"
DON'T EVER
PATRONIZE ME
WITH YOUR PITY
OR SELF INDUCED DILLUSIONS
THE AVARICE THAT SURROUNDS YOUR BEING
WILL IT EVER LET ME OUT OF ITS WITHERING GRASP?
YOU MAKE ME F***ING SICK
LIKE YOUR THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS EVER CRIED UNTILL THEIR CHEEKS HAVE BLED
WELL HERE'S A SADDENING THOUGHT
I HAVE NO MORE TEARS
ONLY DROPS OF BLOOD POUR FROM MY EYES
AS THEY SHATTER ON THE FLOOR
IT REMINDS ME OF THE SHARDS OF FEELINGS
YOU LEFT IN YOUR WAKE
I HAD WORKED FOR YEARS TO
CONSTRUCT ALL OF THESE SILVER LININGS
I HAVE WRAPPED AROUND MY PAIN
AND IN ONE, FELL, SWOOP
YOU TORE THEM ALL AWAY
THEIR THE FOUR EASIEST WORDS TO CHOKE ON
I'VE FALLEN IN LOVE------------
I would sing a thousand songs
To get get this message straight to your heart
( I'D SHAPE IT LIKE A KNIFE)
I'd cut through every callus that formed after years of abuse
And I'd shower it with rose pedals
A well fitting goodbye
NEVER CAN I FORGET YOU
ONCE ALL THESE MEORIES PASS
STILL I
WILL WEEP OVER YOUR FACE
YOU'VE TAUGHT ME SO MANY THINGS ABOUT MY LIFE
(ROMANCE)
IS BUT THE FEVERED DREAM OF A MADMAN
AND ALL THE WORLD IS ENGULFED IN LUST
YOU CANNOT BELIEVE ANYTHING YOU HEAR
AND TO NEVER CRY OVER A WHORE
(NEVER CRY OVER A WHORE)
THOUGH I AM SURE
YOUR LOST IN YOUR OWN REFLECTION RIGHT NOW
NONE OF THESE BODIES MAY STAY INSIDE YOUR MEMORIES
BUT I'LL MAKE DAMN SURE YOU REMEMBER ME!
IF EVEN ONE WORD YOU SAID
MENT A DAMN THING
I'D TAKE BACK EVERY F***ING LYRIC AGINST YOU THAT I SCREAM
SINCE ARSONY IS A CRIME
YOUR A FILTHY WORTHLESS CRIMINAL
I CANT KEEP MY CHEST FROM GETTING BURNED
YOU SET MY HEART ABLAZE
I would sing a thousand songs
To get get this message straight to your heart
( I'D SHAPE IT LIKE A KNIFE)
I'd cut through every callus that formed after years of abuse
And I'd shower it with rose pedals
A well fitting goodbye
I always knew
I knew we'd come to this
With my hands 'round your throat
And your gun to my head
I always knew
I knew we'd come to this
But we can't all be perfect.......
IT'S
MY
HEART
(IM TAKING BACK WHATS MINE)
IT'S
MY
LOVE
(YOU'LL NEVER TAKE WHATS MINE)
IT'S
MY
MIND
(NOW IM TAKING BACK WHATS MINE)
BUT YOU'LL ALWAYS HAVE MY SOUL
Track 13. "...Once Upon A December"
(Piano Intro)
Listen to this sweet
Melody
Hear this song and remember
Soon you'll be
Safe
With me
Once Upon a December......
(piano fades out, intruments come in)
ALL THE RAIN IS COMPOSED OF
GHOSTS TONIGHT
I CANNOT FEEL MY SKIN
THE BLOOD CANNOT REACH MY HEART
RUN,
RUN,
RUN 'TILL YOU CAN'T FEEL YOUR LEGS
HOLD ON TO ME
LET ME INSIDE
ONE LAST TIME
BEFORE THE SNOW BURIES US IN A CASKET BUILT JUST FOR TWO
(Interlude)
THIS PLACE IS AS HAUNTED AS SLEEPY HOLLOW
MY GRIP ON MY CONCIOUSNESS IS STARTING TO SWAY
I'VE DONE SUCH UNHOLY THINGS
I HAVE ENDURED SUCH TERRIFIC PAIN
JUST SO I CAN BE ENGULFED BY THE SIN OF YOUR VOICE
Kill all the lights as midnight aproaches
Dont pull away from this embrace
I can't see through the fog that surrounds us
Your eyes are the only lights I can find
Lemons and Rosemary
Your scent will keep me untill we die
TONIGHT I START BEING PERFECT
(Breakdown)
IN MY PERFECTION, I HAVE BECOME SO FLAWED
HOW IS IT SO,THAT I WILL OUT LIVE MY LOVE
IM GOING TO HANG FROM THE SKY
BECAUSE I HAVE GRANTED HER ENTERNAL LIFE
If Hell is for real
Then I won't last to the light
We will haunt them together
As creatures of the night
And if I do recall
We both said we weren't afraid of death
Never take your pulse for granted again
And appreciate your breath
(classical interlude; Violins, Violas, Cellos, ect.)
IF YOU ONLY KNEW
HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU
I'VE DIED
A THOUSAND TIMES OVER FOR YOU
FOR THE INNER BEAUTY YOU EXHUME
THE NIGHT HAS NEVER FELT DARKER
AS I DRAIN THE LIFE FROM THE ONE I'VE SWORN MYSELF TO
IM ONLY DOING WHAT THE VOICES BEG ME TO DO
BATHEING IN THE TEARS OF THE DEAD
AND THOUGH THEY ARE BLOODSTAINED AND RED
I'VE REMEMBERED TO BRING YOU FLOWERS
I WILL FORCE THE STARS OF THE NIGHT
TO GIVE ME THEIR LIGHT
TO HELP ME
FIND MY WAY CLOSER TO YOU
YOU SAID FORVER DARLING
AND THATS UNTILL THE GRAVE
It's so sad my heart in your hands
I must abandon you to wander aimlessly
Amid labyrinths of the dead
Serching for love by candlelight
I found you
How horrid
for your sake
I will be gone by tommrow
I've carved my own little niche in your heart
So for these last few
Moonlit moments
Lets melt the snow in the circle where we dance
"Woah Oh Ohhhhh Ohhhh, Woah Ohhhhhhh Oh, Ohhh Woah..............." (X4)
(Piano fades in)
Listen to this sweet
Melody
Hear this song and remember
Soon you'll be
Safe
With me
Once Upon a December......
Track 1. "Romance"
(all are spoken behind piano and guitar)
I Love You. These words hurt more than any knife, or bullet ever could, because these wounds are stitched fabricated and heal, but emotional wounds are never healed, they damage us and change our very concepts of normality, so Yes, this song is about you, and Yes, I still love everything about You, but yes, I hope this hurts You, because I tried my hardest, with every Fiber in my heart, that you could tell me that things will work out for me to with that fake smile on your face disgusts me, I hate Your pity, and I hate to see you smile back at me, with all of the light still prevalent in your eyes, so even if, just perhaps, You hurt to, you plastic heartless waste of my time, just remember
I Actually Loved You
Track 2. "Love Is A Noose. Jump."
(I NEED YOU HEAR WITH ME)
IT SEEMS MY LIEFS BECOME,
A STEPHINE MEYERS NOVEL
I AM ROMANTIC TRAGEDY,
PERSONIFIED
MY NIGHTS ARE SOAKED IN
MY MEMORIES OF YOU
THIS NIGHT SKY IS MADE OF DIAMONDS
AND THEY FORM YOUR PICTURE
(You're Beautiful)
I AWAKE TO FIND
MY NIGHTMARES HAVE COME TO LIFE
BUT THAT’S NOTHING TO THE RAZORS THAT ARE
ARE YOUR LIPS
SO ANGEL COLOR MY WORLD
AND KISS MY WRISTS
Prayer cannot save you now
As I'm in your home, with
Two bullets.
ONE GUN.
(mini-breakdown)
(Chorus)
This can't be me hallucinating for
These are the Horrors that dreams are made of.
My hopeless romanticism is all that I have left
And I am pointless without You
(FRAIL LAMENTS)
SHATTER ON THE FLOOR
( AS IF A)
TRIBUTE TO MY LONELINESS
(IN A PLACE I)
ONCE FELT SECURE
I am alone...
I AM ALONE
NOW AS I SLEEP I DREAM OF YOU
AND IM MY DREAMS
YOUR LOVE TEARS OUT MY HEART
BEHIND THESE TEAR DROWNED EYES
YOUR EMBRACE
LACERATES MY SOUL
BUT THATS NOTHING TO THE RAZORS THAT ARE
ARE YOUR LIPS
SO ANGEL COLOR MY WORLD
AND KISS MY WRISTS
Prayer cannot save you now
In your home, I have
Two bullets.
ONE GUN.
(mini-breakdown)
(Chourus)
This can't be me hallucinating for
These are the Horrors that dreams are made of.
My hopeless romanticism is all that I have left
And I am pointless without You
IT'S SO HARD TO BREATH
WHEN LOVE IS A NOOSE AROUND YOUR NECK
AND YOUR ABOUT TO FALL
FOR HER
NO ONE CAN TAKE BACK TIME
I NEED THIS BACK
BUT NOT EVEN THE HANDS OF FATE CAN TAKE BACK TIME
(Hard fast outro riff)
I'VE GIVEN EVERYTHING
YOU'LL GET WHAT YOU DESERVE
(I HOPE YOU DIE)
Track 3. "My Moonlit Serenade"
Compose yourself,
Tonight we gather underneath the glimmer of this tainted moonlight
SUCH MALIGNANT RAINDROPS FALL FROM
THE PARTING NIGHT SKY
THE CLOUDS SWALLOW THE STARS
JUST AS THE MARKS ON MY NECK HAVE SWALLOWED THE LIFE FROM MY EYES
FEAR ME DEAR
(FOR I AM)
(DEATH)
I'VE COME TO TERRORIZE YOUR DREAMS
And haunt you while you sleep
TONIGHT WE MAKE THIS TOWN PAY A BLOOD PRICE
FOR EVERY ONE OF THEIR SINS
CAN YOU FEEL THE DARKNESS CREEP UP TO GRAZE THE BACK OF YOUR NECK
We're here to free your children from their, mortality
And make these young girls beautiful
Reminissions will engulf once sweet reveries
Innocence is a concept I cannot grasp
THIS GRAVEYARD'S OUR KINGDOM
WE ARE
THE CHILDREN OF THE NIGHT
SO LOST IN THE GLIMMER OF THIS CRIMSON MOONLIGHT
COME TAKE MY HAND
WITH ME
LOVE IS FOREVER
Sing and dance with me
My magical prize
Tonight only stops when we sleep
Sing and dance with me
My magical prize
Tonight only stops when we sleep
I'LL BE YOUR ROMEO
YOU'LL BE MY JULIET
WE'LL BE SO BEAUTIFUL
AND WE GET TO SKIP THE PART
WHERE WE DIE AT THE END
I'LL BE YOUR ROMEO
YOU'LL BE MY JULIET
WE'LL BE SO BEAUTIFUL
AND WE GE TO SKIP THE PART
WHERE WE DIE AT THE END
I'll be your Romeo
If you'll be my Juliet
We'll be so beautiful
And we get to skip the part
Where we die at the end
"I'll be your Romeo
If you'll be my Juliet
We'll be so beautiful
And we get to skip the part
Where we die at the end"
Track 4. "The Words I've Never Had To Say"
Goodbye, For Good,
It's been a long run
We've come so far from where we were before
But I must confess
I'LL BE HAPPY WHEN YOUR ALL GONE
So tell me how it feels
To watch your walls and your security crumble.
This is no part of your cliche'
Where will you be?
SO IF YOU ASK
I'LL BE HAPPY TO LEAVE
AND WHATS MORE
I'LL BE TAKING YOUR EGO WITH ME
I've never had the words to say
But I can write every one
Don't try to understand me
Read the writting on the walls
I know exactly what goes on!
I've always heard its the past that defines us
But life is what you make it
And thats a sentence I can belive in
SO WHAT HAPPENS WHEN
THESE LIGHTS HAVE BEEN KILLED AND THESE DAYS ARE BUT A
MEMORY THAT
BURNS INSIDE MY LUNGS
I'D LOVE TO SAY I'LL NEVER FORGET YOU
AND I'D LOVE TO TELL YOU
I'LL MISS YOU WHEN YOUR GONE (BUT)
I HAVE MY FINGERS CROSSED!
I've never had the words to say
But I can write everyone
Don't try to understand me
Read the writting on the walls
I know exactly what goes on!
LOYALTY IS NOT A COMADODY
IN THIS GRAND SCHEME OF LIFE
PRIORITIES ARE IMPORTANT
THIS IS ALL, I, HAVE!
(Breakdown)
I'm moving on from
This place that I call home
I HATE TO SOUND SO CYNICAL BUT
YOUR ALL
(DEAD)
TO
(ME)
Track 5. "Saying Sorry (Isn't Good Enough)"
Sincerly Angel I
Hope these words make you aware
Of all these endless thoughts
That drip as so as blood from my soul
Every single word that I use
I pray expresses that I still belive in
Fairytales
(And the luminecent beauty of)
Your undying light
(Interlude)
I KNOW A WHORE!
(Breakdown)
URGANCEY OVERWHELMS ME
AS I MUST
HIDE THIS FLOOD OF TEARS
BEHIND MY
COLD
DEAD
EYES
(THIS IS THE END)
OF OUR BLANK SILHOUETTE
(Interlude)
(I FEEL SO NUMB)
So I'll lose myself in the pictures on my walls
Just tonight
(ONE LAST TIME)
If only to escape into you eyes again
As cliche as it sounds
(I AM LOST IN YOU)
AND I'VE LOST A FRIEND
TO
THIS LOVE
(SO VENEMOUS)
(IN ITS BEAUTY)
WITH ALL THE AIR IN MY LUNGS
I'LL SCREAM THY NAME INTO THIS EVER HAUNTING FOG
YOU'RE SHATTERED VANITY LAY
WITH, YOU'RE FAKE REFLECTION
(MAY NIGHTMARES LAY WITH YOU)
CURSE YOUR SMILE
(I FEEL SO NUMB)
So I'll lose myself in the pictures on my walls
Just tonight
(ONE LAST TIME)
If only to escape into you eyes again
As cliche as it sounds
(I AM LOST IN YOU)
THIS HAD TO BE REAL
(LEST IT BE FAKE)
FOR IT MENT EVERYTHING TO ME
(AND BITTER)
I
(JUST)
AM
(LIKE)
DOUBTING MYSELF
(YOUR I LOVE YOU'S)
I HOPE THIS HURTS
(IVE NEVER BEEN)
PLEASE
(THIS)
DONT
(COLD)
OPEN YOUR MOUTH
(INSIDE)
(YOU) MAKE (ME) (SICK)
Track 6. "Digging A Grave That Will Never Be Deep Enough"
TONIGHT I DIED AGAIN
SUCH A FAMILAR HOLLOW FEELING RESIDES IN MY CHEST
I WOULD SLIT MY WRISTS BUT I CAN'T EVEN FEEL THE PAIN
EMOTIONAL PAIN IS SO MUCH DEADLIER
CHOKE ON YOUR HEART
JUST TO PROVE THAT YOU HAVE ONE
LONLINESS WOULD BE A PLEASANT CHANGE FROM THIS
I HOPE YOUR F**KING HAPPY
(Interlude)
Maybe I'll be better on my own
Sweet Shadow
So im doing my best to slit your throat silently in my head
Because if you belived in love
Then you'd belived in me
So I'll scratch out those diamond eyes that ever curse me
Tonight
This lie you call love
Dies
THERE IS SUCH BEAUTY IN THE WAY VERMILLION STAINS
YOUR PAPAER SKIN
PLEASE TELL ME HOW MUCH YOU HATE ME
DETSROYING EVERYTHING IN OUR HOUSE OF DOUBT
(DESTROY EVERYTHING, EXCOREATE THESE LAMENTAIONS)
ROCK, BACK AND FORTH (IN THE CONER)
STRATCH ALL THE PAINT OFF THE WALLS AGAIN
RE-COLOR, MAKE EVERYTHING PERFECT
SO I CARVE YOUR NAME (SOMEWHERE I'LL NEVER FORGET)
AS FAR AS IM CONCERNED WE ARE NOT EVEN FRIENDS
(And your lips taste of deceit and loveless love
Your body is beautiful and venomous)
YOU SAID THIS WOULD BE FOREVER
YOUR LOVE IS LOVELESS
I HATE YOUR PRETTY FACE
(Clean guitar)
I would be content to just hold your hand one more time
Look at the pattern of cuts on my arm
Look what you've reduced me to
Empty eyes accuse
And my lip trembles
As I realize
I'm alone
YOU DONT KNOW WHAT LOVE IS
(Breakdown)
THIS WILL ONLY HURT FOR A SECOND
I HOPE YOUR F***ING HAPPY
Track 7. "Apologies That Bleed From Your Pen"
SO SHOULD I BE CONCERNED
If the beauty of your crepscular ink,
SHALL NEVER SPILL UPON YOUR PEN
AND IF YOUR
(BEAUTIFUL)
Words Of
(DECEIT)
Will ever mark this page once more
TO PAINT
(A)
FAIRYTALE
OF THIS
BEAUTIFUL (TRAGEDY)
As apathy calls out from your lungs
INFATUATIONS FICTION
I AWAKE TO FIND
NONE OF MY LETTERS TO YOU RETURNED
YOUR OBVIOUS COMPLANCENCY
TEARS AT MY
(VERY CORE)
AS I
Smear the ink
ACROSS THE PAPER
And in my death, Indifference will consume, you...
AS TEARS RAIN FROM
Bloodshot eyes, I've lost myself in anguish
Beneath this bittersweet kiss
BLOOD WILL BE MY
Ink tonight
I will write a tragedy
Like this world has never seen
MY PALE (QUEEN)
AWAKES TO FRIGID AIR
TIGHTLY GRIPPING HER LUNGS
HER VACANT STARE
A FRAIL VENERMENT
THAT CAN NOT GUISE HER VEIL OF
LUST
FOG GRAY, HAUNTING EYES
PENETRATE AS I FOOLISHLY
SUFFO(CATE)
THE
PHANTOMS
THAT
HAUNT
MY
SHADOW
WHISPERING BITTERSWEET MELODIES
My amourous is hopeless
I'm hopeless
For I've lost you
My belle.
I could barely keep my hand from shaking long enough to sit down and write you this letter
(THE DECAYING LIGHT OF MY UNDIEING LOVE CASCADES OVER AND UNDER MY THOUGHTS AS THEY SPILL UPON THE PAGE)
I am lost in her stare
AS TEARS RAIN FROM
Bloodshot eyes
I've lost myself in anguish
Beneath this bittersweet kiss
BLOOD WILL BE MY
Ink tonight
I will write
A tragedy
Like this world has never seen
I AM ENRAPTURED BY
The avarice of your presence,
Its all consuming
A Beauty
SO TAINTED
OH VANITY
Thy name is hers
(Interlude)
"Dear Love I know these words will never reach you"
I HAVE LEARNED TO FEAR BEUTY
FOR HER SMILE IS THE MEANS TO MY DEMISE
THE BLOOD
I USED TO WRITE ON THESE WALLS
CAME STRAIGHT FROM THE WHOLE YOU LEFT IN MY HEART
YOU LEFT WHEN YOU
SAW MY ARMS COVERED IN SCARS
WHO KNEW SILENCE
COULD CUT SO DEEP?
(Piano underneath the following paragraph which is spoken as if being read aloud)
"Dear Love,
I know these words will never reach you, and im sure you no longer care, but as the dawning sky becomes a dusk so dark and terrifiing, my smile fades into the black of the night. I'm so cold, and I'm so frightend, as the air now reeks with the scent of your foul memory, and yet, you still haunt my every thought. To think one kiss could kill me, that your one smile could curse me to the grave, this is my downfall, how easily love consumes me. I was once told that love can save my life, but tonight, it takes it away, as my soul drops unto the floor, I make a final cross, fall to my knees, and whisper, your bittersweet name. My dearest love if these words somehow reach you, assume I still love you, and assume I am in the warm clutches of death
Sincerly Yours,
Forever"
Track 8. "Life In Black And White Pt 1"
I sing these words to you with tears in my eyes
No words can I ever write
Will help you understand the things I've done tonight
And I know in the bottom of my heart we all die
Then maybe I'll mean something to someone
But I'll never be good enough for you
Will you ever change?
I'd let you tear out my heart and carve your name on the side
Just to see you smile
I'd give you every line I ever wrote, and every song I've ever sang
Just to hear your voice
Because I know Love Will Kill Us All
So just sing me to sleep
La, La La, La, La
And this is everything,
I wanted to tell you,
Forever isn't as long as you made it out to be
And I am lost without you here
I lived through the pain
Of promises you never kept
And now I feel ugly
And your ugly just like me
And your just like me...
And your JUST like me...
And Your Just Like Me
(Piano Solo)
I'd let you tear out my heart and carve your name on the side
Just to see you smile
I'd give you every line I ever wrote, and every song I've ever sang
Just to hear your voice
Because I know Love Will Kill Us All
So just sing me to sleep
La, La La, La, La
I Hold This Failure In Both Hands
This Is My Life Written In Black And White
Track 9. "Not A Second Glance"
OVER THE YEARS I HAVE FOUND YOU FAR TO SHALLOW
To drown me in all of your failures
YOUR TACT, IS SECOND TO NONE
Don't think that they'll forget you
YOU'VE LOST MORE SLEEP THAN YOU CAN AFFORD
THIS IS ME REACHING OUT TO YOU
My intentions
ARE ALL FOR YOU
I'm no longer responsible
For the mistakes that you make, on your own
If you can't
Make it perfect
WELL THEN DIE FOR ALL I CARE
And I've got a 50 doller bill that says
Your in you backyard starting fist fights
At the end of another Sleepless night
Drowning yourself (LIKE YOU ALWAYS DO)
In the so called sympathy of friends who never loved you
Even half as much as I did
SO IF YOU EVER CHANGE YOUR WICKED WAYS
THEN I SWEAR
I'll give you every apology, that your ears could handle
SO I HOPE YOU THINK OF ME
WHEN YOU FORGET TO WEAR YOUR SEATBELT!
(Breakdown)
AND ALL YOUR FOLLIES OF THE LAST NINE YEARS
COME CRASHING THROUGH YOUR WINDSHELD WITH YOU
And I've got a 50 doller bill that says
Your in you backyard starting fist fights
At the end of another Sleepless night
Drowning yourself (LIKE YOU ALWAYS DO)
In the so called sympathy of friends who never loved you
Even half as much as I did
"I'D TELL YOU YOUR GOING NOWHERE FAST BUT I JUST DON'T SEE THE POINT, I TRIED TO HOLD YOUR HAND THROUGH ALL OF IT, SO I HOPE ONE DAY YOU HEAR THIS SONG AND REALIZE"
IT WAS ALL FOR YOU
(It was all for you)
Track 10. "This Aphotic Amour"
Dead rose pedals on the steps
A testment to how long I've been gone
Tonight
You are
Everything
Darkness is my companion
Upon this
Most ominous of evenings
My feet are slipping....
EYELINER RUNS DOWN YOUR FACE
SALT WATER STAINS YOUR CHEEKS
TEAR PATHS RUBBED RAW
(RUN DOWN YOUR)
SWEET COMPOSURE
AND IN THIS MOMENT
I AM LOST IN THE TRUTH OF YOUR BLANK GAZE
SO ENGULED BY SORROW
YET YOU STILL EXHUME SUCH RADIENCE
I RETURN YOUR IMMORTAL GLARE
VOICING DISCONTENT
AT YOUR FUTILE EFFORT TO REPAIR FRAIL WINGS
SHATTERED IN CONSEQUENCE TO AN ASPERSERS VANITY
SCREAMS ENGULF SHOUTS
NOW SOAKED IN SYMPATHY
AS I LAY AT YOUR FEET
And you've never looked,
(SO GORGEOUS)
The tears I have anxiously wiped from your eyes
Are the most lovely shade of scarlet
THE GNARLED ROMANCE OF
My Love, unseen (x2)
I pray the words I wrote for you
ARE ENOUGH TO SHOW
(YOU)
That Tulips are better than roses
In beauty and in Death
(BEHIND)
SIX FEET OF
Solid glass
Looking out I see a lonely girl
And as I
Try to scream for her
(I AM PARALIZED BY)
Her elegant Artistry
(WITHOUT REGRET)
I, drape myself in, ascetic demeanor, to escape from this sick reflection
(I'll, Gouge, Out, My Eye's With, Razor, Blades)
TO GAZE UPON YOU NO MORE
(YOU ARE A PART OF MY FADED TAPESTRY)
I AM FOREVER YOURS, MORTALITY CAN NOT HOLD US FROM THIS LOVE, UNPURE
I, ONLY WANTED TO MAKE YOU PROUD
I, ONLY WANTED TO MAKE YOU SMILE
The tears I have anxiously wiped from your eyes
Are the most lovely shade of scarlet
THE GNARLED ROMANCE OF
My Love, unseen (x2)
I pray the words I wrote for you
ARE ENOUGH TO SHOW
(YOU)
That Tulips are better than roses
In beauty and in Death
(BEHIND)
SIX FEET OF
Solid glass
Looking out I see a lonely girl
And as I
Try to scream for her
(I AM PARALIZED BY)
Her elegant Artistry
(WITHOUT REGRET)
(Piano)
Dead rose pedals on the steps
A testment to how long I've been gone
Tonight
You are
Everything
Darkness is my companion
Upon this
Most ominous of evenings
My feet are slipping....
THESE SCARS, ARE MY GROSTESQUE LOVE LAID BEAR
APHOTIC TO THE END, THIS IS WHAT I DESERVE
Track 11. "The Longest Year Of Our Lives"
Been through alot in the past year
And I've still got a hell of a lot to say
About the way you keep running your mouth
I've read these stories ten thousand times before
And I've re-written every one
Because in my story
Just for once....
The Nice guy gets the girl
SHOULD I APOLOGIZE?
FOR JUST BEING HONEST
AND AFTER ALL THIS TIME YOU STILL THINK YOUR NOT ALONE
When just the sight of you has made me sick tonight (TONGIHT)
SO I'VE LEARNED A COUPLE LESSONS IN LIFE
(MY FRIENDS COME FIRST)
AND LOVE IS JUST DEATH'S BEAUTIFUL SISTER
(AND IF YOU MUST)
AT LEAST STAB THEM IN THE CHEST
So will see if I can fall asleep tonight
At all...
(Short interlude)
And I swear
This better be worth it
It's been
Such a long year for all of us
Will you be there for me?
(If im there for you?)
WITH SUCH PATHETIC LIES
I SWEAR I'LL CHANGE YOUR MIND
BECAUSE THIS FARCE HAS DRAGGED ON FAR TO LONG
YOU TURNED ME INTO THIS
I AM A PRODUCT OF YOUR CREATION
I AM THE OUTCOME
OF WHEN HATE MET INFATUATION
So is it my fault?
Or should I blame you?
Should I?
So I'll roll the dice to see if I'll let it go...
Tonight
SWALLOW YOUR PRIDE!
And I swear
This better be worth it
It been
Such a long year for all of us
Will you be there for me?
(If im there for you?)
DONT EVER THINK YOU CAN TURN YOUR BACK ON US
CAUSE I SWEAR THAT
"THIS IS WORTH IT!"
(Breakdown)
"And I swear
This better be worth it
It been
Such a long year for all of us
Will you be there for me?
If im there for you?"
And I swear
This better be worth it
It been
Such a long year for all of us
Will you be there for me?
If im there for you?
BEEN THROUGH ALOT IN THE PAST YEAR
AND I'VE STILL GOT A HELL OF ALOT TO SAY
Track 12. "I Fell For The Arsonists Daughter"
DON'T EVER
PATRONIZE ME
WITH YOUR PITY
OR SELF INDUCED DILLUSIONS
THE AVARICE THAT SURROUNDS YOUR BEING
WILL IT EVER LET ME OUT OF ITS WITHERING GRASP?
YOU MAKE ME F***ING SICK
LIKE YOUR THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS EVER CRIED UNTILL THEIR CHEEKS HAVE BLED
WELL HERE'S A SADDENING THOUGHT
I HAVE NO MORE TEARS
ONLY DROPS OF BLOOD POUR FROM MY EYES
AS THEY SHATTER ON THE FLOOR
IT REMINDS ME OF THE SHARDS OF FEELINGS
YOU LEFT IN YOUR WAKE
I HAD WORKED FOR YEARS TO
CONSTRUCT ALL OF THESE SILVER LININGS
I HAVE WRAPPED AROUND MY PAIN
AND IN ONE, FELL, SWOOP
YOU TORE THEM ALL AWAY
THEIR THE FOUR EASIEST WORDS TO CHOKE ON
I'VE FALLEN IN LOVE------------
I would sing a thousand songs
To get get this message straight to your heart
( I'D SHAPE IT LIKE A KNIFE)
I'd cut through every callus that formed after years of abuse
And I'd shower it with rose pedals
A well fitting goodbye
NEVER CAN I FORGET YOU
ONCE ALL THESE MEORIES PASS
STILL I
WILL WEEP OVER YOUR FACE
YOU'VE TAUGHT ME SO MANY THINGS ABOUT MY LIFE
(ROMANCE)
IS BUT THE FEVERED DREAM OF A MADMAN
AND ALL THE WORLD IS ENGULFED IN LUST
YOU CANNOT BELIEVE ANYTHING YOU HEAR
AND TO NEVER CRY OVER A WHORE
(NEVER CRY OVER A WHORE)
THOUGH I AM SURE
YOUR LOST IN YOUR OWN REFLECTION RIGHT NOW
NONE OF THESE BODIES MAY STAY INSIDE YOUR MEMORIES
BUT I'LL MAKE DAMN SURE YOU REMEMBER ME!
IF EVEN ONE WORD YOU SAID
MENT A DAMN THING
I'D TAKE BACK EVERY F***ING LYRIC AGINST YOU THAT I SCREAM
SINCE ARSONY IS A CRIME
YOUR A FILTHY WORTHLESS CRIMINAL
I CANT KEEP MY CHEST FROM GETTING BURNED
YOU SET MY HEART ABLAZE
I would sing a thousand songs
To get get this message straight to your heart
( I'D SHAPE IT LIKE A KNIFE)
I'd cut through every callus that formed after years of abuse
And I'd shower it with rose pedals
A well fitting goodbye
I always knew
I knew we'd come to this
With my hands 'round your throat
And your gun to my head
I always knew
I knew we'd come to this
But we can't all be perfect.......
IT'S
MY
HEART
(IM TAKING BACK WHATS MINE)
IT'S
MY
LOVE
(YOU'LL NEVER TAKE WHATS MINE)
IT'S
MY
MIND
(NOW IM TAKING BACK WHATS MINE)
BUT YOU'LL ALWAYS HAVE MY SOUL
Track 13. "...Once Upon A December"
(Piano Intro)
Listen to this sweet
Melody
Hear this song and remember
Soon you'll be
Safe
With me
Once Upon a December......
(piano fades out, intruments come in)
ALL THE RAIN IS COMPOSED OF
GHOSTS TONIGHT
I CANNOT FEEL MY SKIN
THE BLOOD CANNOT REACH MY HEART
RUN,
RUN,
RUN 'TILL YOU CAN'T FEEL YOUR LEGS
HOLD ON TO ME
LET ME INSIDE
ONE LAST TIME
BEFORE THE SNOW BURIES US IN A CASKET BUILT JUST FOR TWO
(Interlude)
THIS PLACE IS AS HAUNTED AS SLEEPY HOLLOW
MY GRIP ON MY CONCIOUSNESS IS STARTING TO SWAY
I'VE DONE SUCH UNHOLY THINGS
I HAVE ENDURED SUCH TERRIFIC PAIN
JUST SO I CAN BE ENGULFED BY THE SIN OF YOUR VOICE
Kill all the lights as midnight aproaches
Dont pull away from this embrace
I can't see through the fog that surrounds us
Your eyes are the only lights I can find
Lemons and Rosemary
Your scent will keep me untill we die
TONIGHT I START BEING PERFECT
(Breakdown)
IN MY PERFECTION, I HAVE BECOME SO FLAWED
HOW IS IT SO,THAT I WILL OUT LIVE MY LOVE
IM GOING TO HANG FROM THE SKY
BECAUSE I HAVE GRANTED HER ENTERNAL LIFE
If Hell is for real
Then I won't last to the light
We will haunt them together
As creatures of the night
And if I do recall
We both said we weren't afraid of death
Never take your pulse for granted again
And appreciate your breath
(classical interlude; Violins, Violas, Cellos, ect.)
IF YOU ONLY KNEW
HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU
I'VE DIED
A THOUSAND TIMES OVER FOR YOU
FOR THE INNER BEAUTY YOU EXHUME
THE NIGHT HAS NEVER FELT DARKER
AS I DRAIN THE LIFE FROM THE ONE I'VE SWORN MYSELF TO
IM ONLY DOING WHAT THE VOICES BEG ME TO DO
BATHEING IN THE TEARS OF THE DEAD
AND THOUGH THEY ARE BLOODSTAINED AND RED
I'VE REMEMBERED TO BRING YOU FLOWERS
I WILL FORCE THE STARS OF THE NIGHT
TO GIVE ME THEIR LIGHT
TO HELP ME
FIND MY WAY CLOSER TO YOU
YOU SAID FORVER DARLING
AND THATS UNTILL THE GRAVE
It's so sad my heart in your hands
I must abandon you to wander aimlessly
Amid labyrinths of the dead
Serching for love by candlelight
I found you
How horrid
for your sake
I will be gone by tommrow
I've carved my own little niche in your heart
So for these last few
Moonlit moments
Lets melt the snow in the circle where we dance
"Woah Oh Ohhhhh Ohhhh, Woah Ohhhhhhh Oh, Ohhh Woah..............." (X4)
(Piano fades in)
Listen to this sweet
Melody
Hear this song and remember
Soon you'll be
Safe
With me
Once Upon a December......
