The Artist

She haunts me in dreams I see her silhouette dance across landscapes Of golden light and autumn In my dreams Her soft eyes see (the thing I'd give) Through my tortured soul (to prove myself to her) Vanishing (to make her see) Any hope for fantasy Jaded eyes awake as her selfish words rain from such placid lips Still I kiss her silken flesh Frigid air leaves me breathless Foolish agony fills my lungs as I try to scream for her I confess I scare myself Through the howling wind, on my knees, I cry Listen to me I'm broken by her silence to a love unseen Blood soaked feathers rained down My wingless angel so broken falls gracefully from the sky To waiting arms To waiting arms Frigid air leaves me breathless Foolish agony fills my lungs as I try to scream for her I confess I scare myself Frigid air leaves me breathless Foolish agony fills my lungs as I try to scream for her I confess I scare myself Through the howling wind, on my knees, I cry Listen to me Such foolish agony fills my lungs as I try to scream for her Jaded eyes wake to the sounds of my voice as I scream to her In dreams I've seen her silhouette dance across golden light And autumn In my dreams In my dreams skies so burdened let her go As cold rain falls, so does she My desires whither, broken once more Soft hands take one so fair she haunts me --- The Artist - Alesana
