As the sky parts like stage curtains
Revealing this Broadway play known as Life
-
She said 'It's all over
I've found someone new
-
Paint with makeup
On your canvas face
-
Walking through these downtown streets
-
-
I saw her standing near the cliffs
High above the sea and jagged rocks
-
My withered veins
Like roots of a tree
-
I hold your lifeless hand
Reading your name on the wristband
-
I stare at the clock
Counting the minutes
-
I'd fly around
The world for you
-
The look stapled upon your pale little face
Dark circles enclose your eyelids
-
And if all the stars came crashing down
Burning cities to the baren ground
-
I see my reflection
And the smile upon my face
-
Does that boy still look at you the same way
With those soft lips and loving eyes
-
I need help badly, I just want to end this all
So I pick up the telephone and the suicide hotline I call
-
You say your freezing cold
Your lips are purple and bold
-
You close your hand, you break my heart
You open your fist, sprinkling the parts
-
They dug you a bed six feet deep
We say a prayer as you lay down to sleep
-
A ghost trapped in your memories
Is all that I have become
-
It was that dark
And rainy day
-
Is this what you wanted
Is this the prize you sought
-
Look at the silhouette
Of the mountains in the distance
-
"There's something stuck in my throat", said the gun
"Can you be a pal and check it out?"
-
I sat down and picked up
The phone
-
I could have ended our silence that night
Driving me home after we had another fight
-
Why do dreams come true
But only for certain people
-
Remember...
The orange and purple sunrises and sunsets
-
A puppet attached
To just a single string
-
The alarm sounds promptly
I pull the covers closer and sink deeper into the bed
-
I play connect-the-dots
With the stars reflecting in your eyes
-
Oh, Mr. Crimson, what have you done?
You killed your love - your only one
-
Pierce me with your bladed tongue
Fill with blood my blackened lungs
