Hymn For The Shameless Lyrics - Emptiness - Alesana

Saw your eyes today in a memory 

Painted in the sky 

You smiled and said to me 

A love like this can never truly die 

So now the show's over 

And I've got to disguise the thing I've become 

I only wish I could stop laughing 

I grin because the joke is on them this time 

They don't have a clue 

Calm consumes me 

I shut my eyes and once again the pleasure strangles me 

I taste the tears of sweet indulgence, pain and fantasy 

Oh, the visions inside my head 

The emptiness will haunt you 

Sanity is slowly slipping from my hands now 

I'm standing closer to the edge than I should be allowed 

Oh, what little regret I have 

Does that make me a killer? 

I am the face of death standing right 

Behind you yet you're oblivious 

To my cold breath 

On your neck, is it just too easy? 

Am I just too good at this? 

I am the chosen one 

I am the end of all 

And now you are mine 

Calm consumes me 

I shut my eyes and once again the pleasure strangles me 

I taste the tears of sweet indulgence, pain and fantasy 

Oh, the visions inside my head 

The emptiness will haunt you 

Sanity is slowly slipping from my hands now 

I'm standing closer to the edge than I should be allowed 

Oh, what little regret I have 

Does that make me a killer? 

Saw your eyes today 

In a memory painted in the sky 

You smiled and said to me 

A love like this can never truly die 

Let's just say you're right 

And the nightmare ends, we wake up side by side 

What makes you think that I would let you live? 

I've really lost my mind 

Behold, for I am the will of the reaper 

Beg for the mercy of your worthless angels 

As relief washes over me, calm consumes me 

I shut my eyes and once again the pleasure strangles me 

I taste the tears of sweet indulgence, pain and fantasy 

Oh, the visions inside my head 

The emptiness will haunt you 

Sanity is slowly slipping from my hands now 

I'm standing closer to the edge than I should be allowed 

Oh, what little regret I have 

Does that make me a killer? 

I shut my eyes and once again the pleasure strangles me 

I taste the tears of sweet indulgence, pain and fantasy 

Oh, the visions inside my head 

The emptiness will haunt you 

Sanity is slowly slipping from my hands now 

I'm standing closer to the edge than I should be allowed 

Oh, what little regret I have 

Does that make me a killer? 

I shut my eyes and once again the pleasure strangles me 

I taste the tears of sweet indulgence, pain and fantasy 

Oh, the visions inside my head 

The emptiness will haunt you 

Sanity is slowly slipping from my hands now 

I'm standing closer to the edge than I should be allowed 

Oh, what little regret I have 

Does that make
