Alesana - The Thespian

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, woah, woah.
I'm being chased by my imagination, woah, woah.

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.
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.

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.
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. 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.
God's turned his back on you, heaven's gates are shut,
and now you're knocking on the devils 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 its time to move on.
(All hope has failed) My patience will not last,
(I've lost my soul) tomorrow I will be gone.

The night sky feels as though it has never been darker,
but the fleeting of the vengence compelling me I will tempt to recollect myself and resume my chase.
For what is it that I am chasing? Am I really chasing anything at all,
or am I simply drowning myself in revenge to avoid the glorifying truth?
I've lost the only thing that made me feel truly alive.
Are my hands responsible? Are his?
Who was he? Who was the mad man that stood before me tonight?
I swear I've seen his face before.... I know I've seen his face before...
