Tema: A Bloody Canvas - Tekstovi Pesama

Nevermore

My mirage slowly fades into a jagged, transparent
illusion of what I never wasA delicate construction of a
breathless tale
It's all so contrived
A frail thread to hang upon, fraying at the tips
Now at the hands of Fate, with her knuckles so white
Just a cleave, a snip from crimson shears, to end this
bitter prophecy
My sanctuary lies in flames, my heart tainted by ashes
Like an angel without wings, a man without a shadow,
A wolf without a howl
Lingering silences, never broken, never spoken, nevermore

Like a prophet without text, a king without a crown,
A meaningless effigy, a straw dog
The corpse of my conscious is soon on the pyre, embracing
the warmth
Embracing the fire
So deafening, the silence of my thoughts
A quivering apogee but yet an insightful awakening with
open eyes
Grayscale portraits of the past fall in place with the
tinted visions of the future
Cold wind against open wounds sends a shiver down my
spine
I watch as my mirage slowly fades into a bleak, derelict
reality in which I always wanted
Cold air, tainted dreams, decaying
Take me back to the days when I was no one

One Fatal Mistake

haunted by mistakes I so carelessly madea past I must now
live with
I still recall that rainy december night
a sick attempt at recovering
but now, haunted by your sillhouette
I dont think I'll ever forget
the sounds of you screaming
oh my god, Please say I'm dreaming
how could this happen to me?
I opened my eyes and saw you lying there
my hands shaking, you're heart breaking
now your lying in a pool of your love for me

the sunset calls the dark skies to carry you home
my love lays lifeless underneath the stars
by the work of my hands, she cries constantly
constantly awaiting her final breath
the breath that will rip her from my life
my heart and yours, entwined at last
what a sick attempt at recovering from the past
the sounds of you screaming
oh my god, Please say I'm dreaming
how could this happen to me?
I'l whisper a quiet apology
I hope to god this sets me free
between life and death, I'll be choosing
this fitting end to the abusing...

Of The Spotless Mind

(dont wake up, let the sounds soothe you)faceless
photographs and no recollection
a year lost in time, there is no explanation
two strangers on a subway, smiling, we never kenw
the sunset over the Atlantic reminds me of a day I spent
in the arms of a sillhouette
theres something wrong here
you look so familiar, you look so familiar
but looks can be so decieveing, here i am
i'm leaving again
we can try to pretend like we dont remember, but we dont
remember, strangers once again

we smiled so politely and shook our hands goodbye,
goodbye
you look so familiar, you look so familiar...
...how could you do this (erase everything)
how could you do this (just walk away)
how could you do this (i dont even know you)
how could you do this (you could have explained it)
how could you do this (you erased everything)...
...i thought i could love you, hold you and thank you for
being the one...
...what happened? i woke up in the same bed, same clothes
but something is missing, my love, my life, my memory,
what happened last night? who was i with? what happened?
you looked so familiar, you looked so familiar
i woke up this morning and part of me was missing but i
dont know what...

Roses

lay me out in my sunday bestmake me handsome, make me
proud
you watched me grow up, watched me fall
stood by my bedside through it all
a man in white came with a book today
he said, 'son take my hand and let us pray'
my mother seems so afraid

sometimes i think she should of prayed...
...white roses lined the walls, every day here to remind,
the son who grew up to never be, black roses will now
line my bed, ive packed my things, i'm good to go, i just
thought i'd let you know, dont be scared...
...now on the same bed, my body lies and at my feet my
mother cries, the boy she loved with heart and soul, not
yet a man at eight years old, with my eyes shut night i
can finally see, the fine young man i would never be, and
now my mother who never prayed screams 'please dont take
my son away'...
...there were white roses when i was born, to celebrate a
first born son, now black roses left by my side to hold
forever the boy who died...
...dont be scared (im with you)
please dont cry (i'll never leave)
i'll come tonight to lay blue roses at your feet
i will live forvever as the man you'll never meet

Pendulum

The pendulum swings in slow symphony with my heart or
your moods, no matter how far we seem to drift we'll
always come back to the center and i'll always come back
to your arms. Let's put tonight behind us, at least until
it happens again and we do the same thing. This pendulum
sways through those sweaty summer days when we aren't
allowed inside but we go in anways, just to stay cool.
Just to stay cool. It seems as though we drag along with
the motions of a pendulum, back and forth, back and forth
and back to the center. Back to your arms. Back to how
things should be. Back to the way a pendulum should
swing, swaying ever so carefully towards the edge but
always coming back.

So Far Away

I used to know you like the back of my handBut that got
lost while I was waving goodbye
It seems that we've lost so much
Eight years of my life lost like a single grain of sand
Swept up by the wind
The phone never rings
It's just silent and stings
Like salt in a metaphorical wound
Do you remember that starless night some September?
We sat out on my back porch with all our Pokemon cards
Back before we knew of life and the things that it
could do
You told me then that we would always be best friends
We would always be best friends
We would always be
I have all these memories but I know they could mean
something more to me
Than just a silent movie stuck on repeat
Where has all our time gone?
It seems like yesterday when we were living the jokes
we would laugh at today
But we're not laughing today
At least not together
I thought best friends meant forever
I thought best friends meant forever
The phone never rings
It's just silent and stings
Like salt in a metaphorical wound

Are you making a point to avoid everyone you left
behind?
I used to think it was hard when you moved more than a
street away
But now it's harder today
Than it ever was before
You're just a face in a photograph that hasn't begun to
fade
And I don't think it ever will
Do you remember those summers we spent at the New
Jersey shore?
When we were younger we used to jump through the waves
And make those jellyfish graves, the gulls used to love
that
When we started to notice the girls lying in their
suits
We knew we had finally grown up
But so had they
So had they
Maybe we just grew up too fast
The phone never rings
It's just silent and stings
Like salt in a metaphorical wound
So, how do you like Minnesota?
If it's too cold you can always come back home
But if Minneapolis is perfect then I'll be happy for
your life
I just have to ask
Are you making a point to avoid everyone you left
behind?
Most importantly me
The phone never rings
It's just silent and stings
Like salt in a metaphorical wound

Seasons

the sky sets a lighter shade of white this winter,
promising a snow that never did fall, one we never really
saw at all, the air slips into a tired winter chill that
wouldve seeped through our bones if we had been alone,
but we weren't walking alone, no the cold air forces me
to hold my breath but I wouldn't be breathing anyways, so
afraid to breathe, so afraid to speak, there's an aching
in my legs, i feel them going weak, but it's not the cold
or frozen skies, it's just that burning in your eyes,
that keeps me warm I can feel my hands growing numb, but
not before I've found someone who can melt the snow from
winters past, the words i spoke i spoke them fast, for
fear that winter wouldn't last, but I swear there'll be
snow on the ground, and sands on distant shores, and when
the weather seems right, i'll hold my hand in yours....

Summers Awakening

every night you'd fall asleep to my seranadesa collection
of spoken words and whispers
like a prophet without text, i could not say what would
happen next, when your mind drifts to dreams, and you
fall through the seams of reality, there is no turning
back, black and white polaroids are portraits of a
perfect ending, one we may never reach, a perfect sunset
on an empty beach
obsessions over crossing stars
obsessions over you...
...living for a moment miles away has left me choking on
the right words to say
everything seemed so perfect in our foolish dreams
were we foolish to follow the only hope we knew?

was it foolish for me to follow you? no...
...the dream that we abruptly awoke from on that day was
a contrast to reality
a painful awakening to sour salty air, this isnt what we
waited for
our dream of salvation shattered as reality slowly set in
like waking from a dream of falling from the highest
tower to find yourself on the floor
covered in sweat
your hopes of perfection sought in dreams were shattered
that summer
dreams of sweet summer love turned sour
but like a prophet without text, i couldnt say what
happens next

This Is My Closure

holding my hands to my head at nighti'll wish upon fallen
stars
just like we fell from eachother
i'll dream of perfection
but my gray skied past stains a
sky blue future of what could have been
should have been but never was
regrets line every page of this tattered book
this parchment stained with tears
unforgiving of the past
reflecting on my chosen path
realizing broken things aren't beautiful

but you, you were beautiful to me
do you remember when what we had was beautiful?
we were beautiful together...
...what have we got now?
no, nothing, maybe memories?
but thats all
all i will ever be now...
....just a memory
i'll wish upon fallen stars
just like we fell from eachother
i'll dream of perfection
but my gray skied past stains a
sky blue future of what could have been
should have been but never was

Untitled

'when there is no more room in hellthe dead will walk the
earth'
the bite, tearing of flesh
i heard you scream
then silence fell....haunted by what was
a tear rolled down, afraid of what could be
this wont be the last time
moments passed as i stared
at your lifeless body bleeding there
i knew what would come next
but yet i couldnt let go, and just walk away

i'm not afraid, not afraid to die
your eyes opened and met mine
re-animated, you looked deep into me
with the eyes of blood, you dont know me anymore
i cant let go of a memory, as dead as it may be
...your not dead to me....
this wont be the last time....
...in a flash i was on the ground
all i heard was the grinding sound of tooth against bone,
the pain, oh my god the pain, feeling my life drain away,
torn limb from limb, my last breath
what is this? what is this for?
is this what death feels like?
no, this is love...
