Alesana - The Artist lyrics

rate me

What is wrong with her eyes?<br />

A glossy stare that won't leave me be starts my blood running cold.<br />

A gaze that could make hell freeze over.<br />

I have to understand she's gone.<br />

<br />

But she's not! Don't you tell me that she is dead.<br />

Watch her lips softly move because she's still whispering to me! <br />

And something here is not quite right.<br />

<br />

Skin so cold beneath my touch as I brush back her hair and close her eyes.<br />

But I cannot stand to turn away.<br />

When I do, she'll be gone.<br />

It's frightening.<br />

<br />

Sweaty hands will fail to lock the door. <br />

They'll be here soon.<br />

I wish I could keep my teeth from grinding.<br />

I wish I'd stop looking behind me.<br />

Running now will only make it worse. <br />

They'll be here soon.<br />

I wish I could shake the awful feeling.<br />

I wish my mind would stop. <br />

<br />

Maybe I am crazy and my mind is trying to deceive me.<br />

As the ground vanishes I wonder, will the sky be the next to fail me?<br />

Paint abandons canvas and my brush can't seem to start again from scratch.<br />

As I watch everything unravel, why should I even try to stop the collapse?<br />

I won't! <br />

<br />

Shaking as I rest her body down.<br />

No one knows, only me.<br />

It's frightening.<br />

<br />

Sweaty hands will fail to lock the door. <br />

They'll be here soon.<br />

I wish I could keep my teeth from grinding.<br />

I wish I'd stop looking behind me.<br />

Running now will only make it worse. <br />

They'll be here soon.<br />

I wish I could shake the awful feeling.<br />

I wish my mind would stop. <br />

<br />

Maybe I am crazy and my mind is trying to deceive me.<br />

As the ground vanishes I wonder, will the sky be the next to fail me?<br />

Paint abandons canvas and my brush can't seem to start again from scratch.<br />

As I watch everything unravel, why should I even try to stop the collapse?<br />

Why should I even try to stop to collapse?<br />

<br />

There's a madman glaring straight at me! <br />

Oh I know I've seen his face before! <br />

I am sure I've seen his face before.<br />

<br />

Maybe I am crazy and my mind is trying to deceive me.<br />

As the ground vanishes I wonder, will the sky be the next to fail me?<br />

Paint abandons canvas and my brush can't seem to start again from scratch.<br />

As I watch everything unravel, why should I even try to stop the collapse?<br />

I won't!
