(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 the 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). I feel 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). I feel 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).
Sweet revenge... He will pay, he will pay my dear.
(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.)

What is wrong with her eyes? A glossy stare that won't leave me be Starts my blood running cold A gaze that could make hell freeze over
I have to understand she's gone But she's not, don't you tell me that she is dead Watch her lips softly move Because she's still whispering to me And something here is not quite right
Skin so cold beneath my touch As I brush back her hair and close her eyes But I cannot stand to turn away When I do, she'll be gone It's frightening
Sweaty hands will fail to lock the door They'll be here soon I wish I could keep my teeth from grinding I wish I'd stop looking behind me
Running now will only make it worse They'll be here soon I wish I could shake the awful feeling I wish my mind would stop
Maybe I am crazy And my mind is trying to deceive me As the ground vanishes, I wonder Will the sky be the next to fail me?
Paint abandons canvas And my brush can't seem to start again from scratch As I watch everything unravel Why should I even try to stop the collapse? I won't
Shaking as I rest her body down No one knows, only me It's frightening
Sweaty hands will fail to lock the door They'll be here soon I wish I could keep my teeth from grinding I wish I'd stop looking behind me
Running now will only make it worse They'll be here soon I wish I could shake the awful feeling I wish my mind would stop
Maybe I am crazy And my mind is trying to deceive me As the ground vanishes, I wonder Will the sky be the next to fail me?
Paint abandons canvas And my brush can't seem to start again from scratch As I watch everything unravel Why should I even try to stop the collapse?
Why should I even try to stop the collapse? Why should I even try?
There's a madman glaring, straight at me Oh, I know I've seen his face before I am sure I've seen his face before
Maybe I am crazy And my mind is trying to deceive me As the ground vanishes I wonder Will the sky be the next to fail me?
Paint abandons canvas And my brush can't seem to start again from scratch As I watch everything unravel Why should I even try to stop the collapse? I won't
A Lunatic's Lament
If only you could see If only you could see You're the only girl I've ever dreamed of If only you could see If only you could see...
Should I apologize to such pathetic eyes Just the sight of you has made me sick tonight (tonight) It was your poison kiss that turned me into this Then again there is a chance you could be mine tonight
Darling will you please take a walk with me? We can count the stars that disappear...(I wish you could see) I wish you could see, you're the only girl I've ever dreamed of Are you satisfied?
(Are you satisfied?) (Are you satisfied?)
What fate has led me here... Oh please forgive me dear I don't know if I could survive on my own (my own) I could have married you instead I buried you Now I will see if I can fall asleep alone (alone)
Darling will you please take a walk with me? We can count the stars that disappear...(I wish you could see) I wish you could see, you're the only girl I've ever dreamed of Are you satisfied?
(Are you satisfied?) The nightmares coming true (Are you satisfied?) { From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/a/alesana-lyrics/a-lunatic_s-lament-lyrics.html } Girl it's only you (Are you satisfied?) I'm telling you the truth (Are you satisfied?)
I wish you could see, you're the only girl I've ever dreamed of Darling will you please take a walk with me? We can count the stars that disappear...(I wish you could see) I wish you could see, you're the only girl I've ever dreamed of Are you satisfied?
Are you satisfied?
[Spoken:] The depths of a mans soul can not be measured in a manor of meters and fathoms; but rather, it is in my opinion, only quantified by his proximity to haven and hell. It was in such a state I ushered myself passed the town tavern, bursting at the seams with the sounds laughter and drunken piano playing. Had it only been a different night, a different place, a different kind of man passing by the threshold of that innocent pub, the events that transpired at that point would have undoubtedly been drastically different. I can only guess if anyone outside that place had a clue when those exclamations of mirth became the desperate screams of the helpless begging for their very lives
The Murderer

It is about time? Oh, yes it is, it really is Let's get this party started
My hands are shaking Just take a drink, steady your nerves Let's get this party started
Are you ready to run? I've been waiting patiently for this Are you ready to run? I've been waiting patiently for this
Are you ready to run? I've been waiting patiently for this Are you ready to die? 'Cause lately it seems I'm going insane
Please don't get up, oh no You're fine right there Just don't mind me as I take you all in
So drink 'em up, oh yes Just slam 'em down Have one on me as I lock you all in
My sweet little sheep Your wolf has come
You should know I'm dangerous My thirst for blood turns me on How sweet
Is this what we pictured The night that we said, you're the one? I'm going crazy without you It's hard to believe but I'm having fun Annabel, look what you've started
The knife slides down to the tip of my tongue I'm finding pleasure in watching you writhe I lean in just to lick the sweat off your face I taste the reverence dripping down my throat
You should know I'm dangerous My thirst for blood turns me on How sweet
Is this what we pictured The night that we said, you're the one? I'm going crazy without you It's hard to believe but I'm having fun Annabel, look what you've started
Are you ready to run? I've been waiting patiently for this Are you ready to run? I've been waiting patiently for this
Are you ready to run? I've been waiting patiently for this Are you ready to die? There is definitely something wrong
Will they scream, will they cry? Will they beg as they die?
Are you ready to die? Are you ready to die? Are you ready to die? Are you ready to die?
I'm so glad that all of you came
Looking in I see a lonely man Etching tallies into the bar Looking on I see a desperate man Repeating something on the floor
Oh, how blood turns me on So sweet
Is this what we pictured The night that we said, you're the one? I'm going crazy without you It's hard to believe but I'm having fun Annabel, look what you've started
