A Lunatic's Lament

Alesana

12

If only you could see

(If only you could see)

You're the only girl

I've ever dreamed of

If only you could see

(If only you could see)

Should I apologize

with such pathetic eyes

Just the sight of you has made me

sick tonight (tonight)

It was your poison kiss

that turned me into this

Then again there is a chance

you could be right.

Darling will you please (please)

take a walk with me

We could count the stars

and disappear

(I wish you could see)

I wish you could see

You're the only girl

I've ever dreamed of

Are you satisfied?

Are you satisfied?

Are you satisfied?

What fate has led me here?

Oh please forgive me dear.

I don't know if I could survive

on my own

I could have married you,

instead I buried you

Now we'll see

if I can fall asleep alone (alone)

Darling will you please (please)

take a walk with me

We can count the stars

and disappear

(I wish you could see)

I wish you could see

You're the only girl

I've ever dreamed of

Are you satisfied?

(Are you satisfied?)

The nightmare's coming true

Are you satisfied?

(Are you satisfied?)

Are you satisfied?

(Are you satisfied?)

I did it all for you.

Are you satisfied?

(Are you satisfied?)

I wish you could see

You're the only girl

I've ever dreamed of

Darling will you please (please)

take a walk with me

We can count the stars

and disappear

(I wish you could see)

I wish you could see

You're the only girl

I've ever dreamed of

Are you satisfied?

(Are you satisfied?)

Are you satisfied?

(Are you satisfied?)

The depth of a man's soul

can not be measured in a matter

of meters and fathoms

but rather it is in my opinion

only quantified by his proximity

to heaven and hell.

It was in such a state that

I ushered myself past

the town tavern,

bursting at the seams with

the sounds of laughter

and Had it only been a different night,

a different place, a different kind

of man passing by the threshold

of that innocent pub.

runken piano playing.

The events that transpired

at that point would have

undoubtedly been drastically different.

I can only guess if anyone outside that place

had a clue when the exclamations

of mirth became the desperate

screams of the helpless,

begging for their very lives.
