Alesana: Curse Of The Virgin Canvas

I am here to tell you a story
A story that will torture your thoughts by day
And poison your dreams by night
And though I will do my best,
There are no words that can be written
Nor brush strokes laid on canvas
That can describe this stark
And utter horror of the night that Annabel died
The emptiness will haunt you
This is a nightmare, is my Annabel really gone?
My eyes are stung by daylight, I find it hard to breathe
Her body teases me as the sun reveals the dawn
The smell of blood still crawls, I kiss you softly goodbye
Baby, lay in my arms and cuddle me close
Soon this will be just an awful memory...
Will I ever be able to sleep again?
My angel lie to me and tell me I'm dreaming (please wake me up, please wake me)
A girl like you will always be such a tragic part of me (oh ecstasy you torture me)
I watch the blood drip from the corners of your mouth
Your icy flesh is lying, your pallid skin still glows
I'm starting to believe what my eyes are seeing now
You're still so beautiful and yet so morbidly still
Baby, lay in my arms and cuddle me close
Soon this will be just an awful memory...
Will I ever be able to sleep again?
My angel lie to me and tell me I'm dreaming (please wake me up, please wake me)
A girl like you will always be such a tragic part of me (oh ecstasy you torture me)
Sweet revenge...
He will pay, he will pay my dear
Empty eyes accuse a face so evil I'm coming undone
The mirror says it all, a crimson story of innocence lost
Empty eyes accuse a face so evil, I'm coming undone
What have I done to her?
So terribly memory returns of her struggle, of her screams, of her
Lord forgive me!
My stomach heaves as I see the blood that covers me
Blood that was once hers
I'm a monster!
Such an awful memory...
Will I ever be able to sleep again?
My angel lie to me and tell me I'm dreaming (please wake me up, please wake me)
A girl like you will always be such a tragic part of me (oh ecstasy you torture me)
A mirror never lies
They know
Everybody knows
Do you not see what they see?
A mirror never lies
I see what they see
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
