The Thespian

Alesana · The Emptiness [2010]

Baby! why are you doing this to me?

Sweetheart! are those your eyes staring straight back at me?

Angel! I see your smile everywhere!

Darling! Stop!



Night falls and I'm running in circles

I'm being chased by my imagination



Tell me I'm forgiven say you'll always be mine

Say that everything is over, tell me I'm fine...

No one deserves to live like this

(2x)



I touch your lips and stare in your eyes

You smile and it makes me fly

You are the reason my heart beats

Tonight it's just you and me...



Night as dark as my thoughts sets the scene for my return

Lightning nips at my heels as I race home

Wearily I stagger towards the song of her pale voice

Demons jeer my attempt to be free



Tell me I'm forgiven say you'll always be mine

Say that everything is over, tell me I'm fine...

No one deserves to live like this

(2x)



I touch your lips and stare in your eyes

You smile and it makes me fly

You are the reason my heart beats

Tonight it's just you and me...



Windows cast her gentle reflection

Her somber silhouette dances for me

Dear God, it's her



Look at you, you miserable fool

Get off your knees, your prayers fall upon deaf ears

Gods turned his back on you, heavens gates are shut

And now you're knocking on the devil's door



I've been expecting you for some time, sir

Allow me to introduce myself

I'm the one who pulls on all the strings, son

You're lucky I don't kill you where you stand



This can't be real

Tonight I raise my glass

There's nothing left

For I know it's time to move on

All hope has failed

My patience will not last

I've lost my soul

Tomorrow I will be gone
