306 Lyrics - Opheliac - Emilie Autumn

Three hundred and six in only six years 

If it was an accident where are the tears? 

I am still unidentified behind the cathedral 

Is where my body hides but I'm not inside 

Just one of sixteen in early one day 

If it was a game why couldn't I play? 

I am the abandoner but still I remain 

And my frozen pulse quickens and the black plot thickens 

Like the story I heard a lifetime ago 

Where a girl, and this is funny, took her life 

And what she doesn't know is how long it takes for the water to rise 

And the breath to stop fighting and the cold to close her eyes 

Morality plays on stages of sin 

The easy way out or the easy way in, I am still over glorified 

My reasons to live were my reasons to die 

But at least they were mine 

Now I'm freedom unbound, cut the laces of life 

The pistol, the poison, the noose or the knife 

I have chosen my instrument and said no goodbyes 

And my frozen pulse quickens and the black plot thickens 

Like the story I heard a lifetime ago 

Where a girl, and this is funny, took her life 

And what she didn't know is how long it takes for the water to rise 

And the breath to stop fighting and the cold to close her eyes
