Confessions

[Intro]

I’ve been here before

Am I losing my mind?

Look at me, tell me I’m crazy

We’re in danger

Follow me and you’ll see

Things are not what they seem

Take my hand or don’t you trust me?

We are in danger

And I’m the one to blame

[Verse 1]

At the edge of man’s reason

There exist designs to escape reality

The Tesseract calls to me

Cosmic strings shall be mine to pull

Failure met by failure

Try again! Try again!

Still she calls to me

[Chorus]

Can I hold you closer and drown in your dreams?

I promise fantasies can be more than words

That we have buried alive

The nightmare is real

Still I pray and beg for more

I’m never closing my eyes

Forever one with the night

[Verse 2]

Hush sweet baby don’t say a word

I’m ignoring destiny for reasons I can’t tell you

We try to fool our minds

How long do we wait for salvation?

Is it a sin to wonder?

Get off your knees!

Failure met by failure

Try again! Try again!

She’s insane!

[Chorus]

Can I hold you closer and drown in your dreams?

I promise fantasies can be more than words

That we have buried alive

The nightmare is real

Still I pray and beg for more

I’m never closing my eyes

Forever one with the night

[Bridge]

Can you hear me? Can you see me?

Can you hear me? Can you see me?

Can you hear me? Someone’s talking, Someone’s watching

Can you see me? Someone’s talking, Someone’s watching

Can you hear me? Someone’s talking, Someone’s watching

Can you see me? Someone’s talking, Someone’s watching

Delusions of grandeur, where the hell am I?

Save me from myself!

‘Cause I can no longer

Play this morbid game

Just when I thought it was over, here we go!

Galaxies welcome me inside!

[Breakdown]

I’m insane!

Oh the horror! Oh the panic!

Paranoid and deranged! I am a God!

Psychotic and ashamed! Why! Why!

Can you hear me? Can you see me?

[Chorus]

Can I hold you closer and drown in your dreams?

I promise fantasies can be more than words

That we have buried alive

The nightmare is real

Still I pray and beg for more

I’m never closing my eyes

Forever one with the night

[Refrain]

I’m never closing my eyes

Forever one with the night

I’m never closing my eyes

Forever one with the night

[Outro]

It was a dark and stormy night

I’ve traveled near and far, raced with all the stars

Now alone I’ll be, subtle tragedy

If I had one more chance to just explore

I would take your hand and do it all again

[Verse 1]

Dearest love, I hope this finds you well

I am kidding this is probably hell

Lonely stranger with a brush in hand

Never saw me sneaking up on him

Tonight say goodbye to what you thought you knew

They’ll blame the blood spilled on you

I’m closing my eyes, one more kiss before I never wake again

Immortality will still be mine

Two moves ahead of you

You are a pawn

Castle now but I’m behind your king

As your queen lays bleeding on the board

Accept you have lost the game, misjudged your enemy

[Pre-Chorus]

Unleash the myth living in your worst fears

I’m trapped! Don’t wait!

[Chorus]

Page abandoned, the stories write themselves

The author lost his way again and he forgot to write the end

Race towards the sun, seeing who comes undone

The villainess, the broken bride, we sit and watch the world’s collide

The story is ending

[Verse 2]

Would you remember Joan of Arc was her flesh yet unlicked by flame?

Will you remember how the waves crash on the shores of time?

Who would’ve ever known that each choice made sense?

Who could’ve ever known?

Are we not our actions?

Our lives are poetry, make them sonnets

[Pre-Chorus]

Unleash the myth living in your worst fears

I’m trapped! Don’t wait!

[Chorus]

Page abandoned, the stories write themselves

The author lost his way again and he forgot to write the end

Race towards the sun, seeing who comes undone

The villainess, the broken bride, we sit and watch the world’s collide

The story is ending

[Verse 3]

Why do the floorboards creak like a heartbeat

This room is driving me insane

What’s behind the bricks?

Who’s rapping at my chamber door?

Pendulum, why do you torment me?

What am I saying? Have I lost my mind?

I am her!

No longer Fatima, goddess, light

I’ve become Rusalka, demon of night!

Two moves ahead of you

You are a pawn

Castle now but I’m behind your king

As your queen lays bleeding on the board

Accept you have lost the game, misjudged your enemy

Don’t wait...

[Chorus]

Page abandoned, the stories write themselves

The author lost his way again and he forgot to write the end

Race towards the sun, seeing who comes undone

The villainess, the broken bride, we sit and watch the world’s collide

The story is ending

Page abandoned, time is ending

The story is ending, make them sonnets

We sit and watch the world’s collide

[Outro: Melissa Milke]

The night that I died I had become Rusalka. I was no longer me. I was no longer Annabel. The beautiful evil coursed through my veins and I saw so clearly what needed to be done. As you lay, fast asleep, I penned her farewell and kissed your cheek. The knife felt so light in my hand, so heavy in my stomach. There is something about this room…

[Intro]

On the edge of reason, beyond understanding

Silent she waits, perfect oblivion

She’s crawling to the end, perfect oblivion

[Verse 1]

I live behind mirrors within a prison without any bars

Yet I remain lost to the world

In hell I’m suspended within a prism

So many walls, so many years, so many lives

Too often I’ve watched them die

[Pre-Chorus]

Images of yesterday feeling so far away

[Chorus]

I can’t let go of the past, the years, the sweet romance

I am a ticking time bomb waiting in a trance

I need you more tonight than you will ever know

I swear to never forget this heartbreaking dance

[Verse 2]

The hell of being trapped is simply not a match for death

Heaven awaits

Now I know not to be afraid of the end

My love awaits, will you be there? Take me away

I’m ready, I’ll be home soon

[Pre-Chorus]

Images of yesterday feeling so far away

[Chorus]

I can’t let go of the past, the years, the sweet romance

I am a ticking time bomb waiting in a trance

I need you more tonight than you will ever know

I swear to never forget this heartbreaking dance

[Bridge]

Beautiful pure silence, come on! Embrace me

Sweet perfect nothing swallow my fears, come on!

If I had just one wish I’d choke prophets (Ba dah ba ba dah ba bah) hang angels, burn children

Oh, I’d drink oceans, eat the moon, flood the world, end everything

Breathe in, breathe out

We could run far away but then how would we sleep at night?

I’ve been looking for the words to say our last goodbyes

Hold on to fleeting hopes that I just might survive

[Outro](x5)

Give in to the pleasure

Make it last forever

Hold on hold on to everything we are

Give in to the pleasure

Make it last forever
