To A Breathless Oblivion Lyrics - The Black Dahlia Murder

the chair's been kicked a rope tied to the rafters 

blue faced and broken necked I sigh 

relieving my vision from the sick mocking stare 

of that hated sun burning the sky 

slumped like a headless scarecrow 

cold and limp against the wall 

blood paints a pattern of rorschach's design 

thawing the winter that burdens this heart 

shit stained and shameful 

an exit in disgrace 

not a splash but just a ripple left 

I end this life in vain 

in vain

We've Got Handwritten Lyrics From Americana Sensations The Lone Bellow 

in the dead of the darkness I breach the still lake 

toward the reflection of the moon 

the night colored liquid arresting my lungs 

finally at peace in this watery tomb 

destroy this fragile body 

to be gorged upon by worms 

not a splash just a ripple is left 

in the wake of my merciless scorn 

beyond those cursed stars above 

lies the answer that I seek 

on the backs of bullets rides my name 

longing to kiss my cheek 

resentfully decline 

retire this hated life 

without guilt I break these veins 

carved with salvation's knife 

Photos 

turn not away avert not your face 

this is how it was meant to be 

in silence found hanging there 'bove a pool of waste 

the beauteous workings of mortality 

no one can truly touch another parallel never to cross 

pointless fumbling sad mistake only capable of pain 

beyond those cursed stars above 

lies the answer that I seek 

on the backs of bullets rides my name 

longing to kiss my cheek 

resentfully decline 

retire this hated life 

without guilt I break these veins 

carved with salvation's knife 

(fades out)
