Les paroles

1. APOLOGY

Sweat drips in my eyes
Screams of lust we cry
Tonight you are everything
You're everything
You're everything to me no more
As I wake from this perfect dream
I'll escape from Eden's walls
Can I not stay and live this lie?
Go away and I'll think only of myself
And to think that you would not be scared
Or surprised if I'd severed all these ties
This is the end

[Chorus:]
I'll lose myself in anguish for tonight
Help me get over you
One last false apology
Help me get over you
I feel so numb to see this bitter end of beautiful illusions
Would this be the same?
Broken pieces will not mend to save our past now
Go away

[Chorus]

Now we must let go
Urgency overwhelms me
As I must restrain my flood of tears
I refuse to be slave to your false beauty again


2. ENDINGS WITHOUT STORIES

This time I die
Our love ruined by your malignance
Broken shards of feelings are now just tainted memories left
Beautiful dreams that I cherished now are so disgusting as I strangle the light from you
I watched the smile fading from your face
You bled till there was nothing in your veins
Blood stains my hands so I won't forget you
Its all over now so dry your eyes
There is no forgiveness, be afraid to die
Blood stains my hands so I won't forget you?
Tears fall as your screams of anguish rage throughout the heavens
Amidst the penance you must pay
Caress this bullet as eyes close to the painful memories you left consume the rest of me
My vision of you has now turned to dust, your porcelain smile gone

[Chorus]

I watched the smile fading from your face
You bled till there was nothing in your veins
Blood stains my hands so I won't forget you
Its all over now so dry your eyes... there is no forgiveness, be afraid to die
Blood stains my hands so I won't forget you
You let me go
You let me go too soon
I love you are meaningless words that slip away as I slit your throat
And I will slit your throat


3. AND THEY CALL THIS TRAGEDY

You make me sick
I'll tear out those diamond eyes I can't bear to see
Crimson spills on paper skin
They call this tragedy
Remembering the nights when you'd whisper to me soft, "forever more my heart is yours"
Realize those words have died

[Chorus:]
As the life fades from your eyes
All that I can say is it may not be too late
Try again, make it perfect, make me worth it
Or else die for all I care
If I can not be loved then none shall be
Think of this as I softly kiss your blood glazed lips once more
On this night this thing you call love dies
Your face disgusts me, smile and bear your lies
This broken trust will become your demise

[Chorus]

After today silence will haunt you
Expect no forgiveness for your life will end tonight
Now I grit my teeth and finish what I know must be done
To kill the memory of you... and you said this would be forever

[Chorus]


4. NOT A SINGLE WORD ABOUT THIS

I'd push you away but you are the only thing I know
I can't help believing in you... the idea of beauty leaves me enslaved
Say you'll stay for tonight and I promise you this will be the last

[Chorus]
I'd push you away but you are the only thing I know
at your feet I now lay for you are the only thing I know
-I stare blindly into my reflection
a piece of me lost... I am terrified that I cannot breathe without you
I am nothing in my eyes if not lost
I can't see past your eyes, without them I would die
Shackles cut my wrists as I fight the chains
None can hold me

[Chorus]

In a room where I once told you everything, I am alone
Once beholden to nothing and no one
How is it that I am slave to these eyes which glisten with untold secrets
That I crave so wildly to understand?
I must steel my heart to your warm gaze
I'll claw out my eyes and see you no more
Its because of you I sometimes wish that I would die
Sometimes I wish I would die leaving you behind
Enraptured by my ignorance, I now deserve sympathy


5. RED AND DYING EVENING

You've taken the last of me
The god's of your innocence shall not protect you from the hate of my wrath
You've taken the last of me... blame the end on yourself
You deserve each tear that falls
Scratch out your eyes
The blood will drown in red and I will leave you for dead
A lovely evening draped in regret
The shadow of justice now engulfs you
As cold hands reap the pain they've sewn
You've taken the last of me
Blame the end on yourself
You deserve each tear that falls
Scratch out your eyes
The blood will drown in red and I will leave you for dead
A lovely evening draped in regret
Forever gone
The taste of your death replaced the smell of your breath
A lovely evening draped in regret
Suffocate your will to live with my pain
You were so easily seduced by greed
You could never feel my calloused hands closing around your throat
Taste your loss
Wake into the nightmare that has become our love
May your screams never cease
You've taken the last of me


6. CONGRATULATIONS, I HATE YOU

No one ever said that life was fair and I'm not saying that it should be
So knowing that you are what you want to be and I'm not comes as no surprise
But don't expect me to be happy for you
And don't smile at me and tell me things will work out for me too
I don't want your pity...I hate your pity
Taste your vanity and its sweet bitterness
As you hide behind your veil of my stolen hopes and lost dreams
...You took them all...
I watched you steal my thoughts and had to see you smile
As you build your dreams on my shattered hopes
I'll look back on a day once loved and fantasize for tragedy
Swallow your pride.
Beg me to make this easier and listen to my hopeless cries
-Suffer alone in emptiness
I lust to see you swallowed by the mess that you left in your wake
Disgust lies deep within your empty gaze...
Beg me to make this easier and listen as my hopeless cries
Send stares into your meaningless eyes
My envy can't describe how I loathe you for having all the stars
Leaving my eyes to marvel the sky knowing it should be mine
Yet it's you I see wasting the dream that only I deserve
I'll tear off your face to see your smile.
As you build your dreams on my shattered hopes
I'll look back on a day once loved and fantasize for tragedy
Swallow your pride.
Beg me to make this easier and listen as my hopeless cries
Send stares into your meaningless eyes


7. EARLY MORNING
Last night I forgot how the sound your voice whispered sweet
Goodbyes, your eyes left to die
I'm alone too
I don't stand why

[Chorus:]
Why not one more night
one last kiss good bye
my sweet love tonight
I hope the stars still spell out your name where you are...
Kiss my closings eyes
Help me sleep without you I'm so lost
Tonight I cry
Tell me why
I can't live without your warm embrace

[Chorus]

-I close my eyes and you are everything I see
Goodbye
Goodbye to you my love
I will forget you
I'll see you soon
Goodbye my love
Goodbye to you my love
I will forget you
Let me live
