Beauty is Pain

A narcissist, the rose it is
Surrounded by thorns it cries
Because in time that passes fast
It withers, fades and dies
I myself may die too soon
As the thorns of my past surround me
They gash open my skin
Blood pours from within
I am filled with their poison
And soaking in sin

I sing a song of sorrow for
The ones I love so deep
The guilt I feel is so unreal
As melody carries me to sleep

I embrace this pain, so easy and clearly
For the very first time I see
Not dread, nor hate toward this fate
But perceive an emanating beauty
My thoughts are of pure madness
Ensuring my demise
But the pain I feel takes my mind away
From the guilt and tumult of lies

I sing a song of sorrow for
The ones I love so deep
The guilt I feel is so unreal
As melody carries me to sleep

Sing to me, pull me away
I wish to leave though I’m begging to stay
Drowning within darkness
My future is looking bleak
Because I love this feeling
This painful, blissful, crimson heat
Sing I say! Pull me away!
Save me before I am addicted to this pain!

I sing a song of sorrow for
The ones I love so deep
The guilt I feel is so unreal
As melody carries me to sleep

Pull me away despite my love for here
This place of dark, romantic, blissful pain
Sing for me and drown out my madness
Show me light before I go truly insane

I sing a song of sorrow for
The ones I love so deep
The guilt I feel is so unreal
As melody carries me to sleep
