Curse Of The Virgin Canvas - Alesana

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
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
a girl 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 laying
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
a girl like you will always be such a tragic part of me
oh ecstasy you torture me
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
awful memory
awful memory
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

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
