Congratulations, I Hate You

Alesana · On Frail Wings of Vanity and Wax [2006]

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 dont expect me to be happy for you

And dont smile at me and tell me things will work out for me too

I dont 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 its 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



Beg me to make this easier

And listen as my hopeless cries

Send stares into your meaningless eyes
