Alesana - Curse Of The Virgin Canvas

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 this dark and utter horror
of the night that Annabel died.
The emptiness will haunt you.

This is a nightmare,
is my Annabel really gone?
Why have I stopped my day?
Oh, I find it hard to breathe.
Her body teases me
as the sun reveals the dawn,
her smile reflects the gold,
I kissed a sharp painful lie.

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)
A feel like you will always be
such a tragic part of me.
(I'll watch to see you torture me)

I watch the blood drip
from the corners of your mouth.
The watch seems vicious for me,
I'll frown and slit your throat.

I'm starting to believe
what my eyes are seeing now.
Eyes look so beautiful
and you know what I'll be now

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)
A feel like you will always be
such a tragic part of me.
(I'll watch to see you torture me)

Sweet, raffish,
it will be…,
(mine!)
it will be…
(done!)

Empty eyes accuse
a face so evil.
I'm coming undone,
the mirror says it all;
eclipse and story
of innocence lost.
Empty eyes accuse
a face so evil.
I'm coming undone.

I said look at me my real angel.
Abyss, I know, I will speak against you.
Lord, forgive me.
My one I see, never say you know,
never for me, though it was for you.
Fly me 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 feel like you will always be
such a tragic part of me.
(I'll watch to see you torture me)

Sweet, raffish,
it will be…,
(mine!)
it will be…
(done!)

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.
