My Tragedy
Lyrics
Verse I
The universe is spinning free
I am lost
The stars are trapping me
These shackles are not the type that you can see
And I am drifting now
Left waiting
For a common ground
That'll never be reality
Chorus
My mouth's been sewn closed
My eyes long glued shut
My mind is the canvas
Wicked nightmares and fatasies
Confusing me
Painting gruesome portraits
Of who I used to be
Verse II
Darkness surrounds
The scenes of agony
Playing all around me
Like a personal melody
And I can't scream
And I can't see
My own memories deceiving me
Chorus
My mouth's been sewn closed
My eyes long glued shut
My mind is the canvas
Wicked nightmares and fatasies
Confusing me
Painting gruesome portraits
Of who I used to be
Final Verse
Rip the stitches from my lips
So I can breathe
Peel my eyelids open
Forcefully to see
Praying to catch a glimpse
Of my own identity
I cry
To drink my own tears
A futile attempt
To swallow my own sanity
Final Chorus
My mouth torn open
Eyes wounded wide
Mind come undone
The wake of broken canvases
The brushes are splintered
Paint splattered
On the crumbling walls
Of my ruined self
And I am left...
I am left
Picking up the ragged remnants
Of my tragedy
