And thus the crawling begins Upon a road of gravel and blood I see your face... as you're dying And thus the suffering begins Down the corridor of regret I feel your lifeless shade cradled in my arms
And thus the bleeding begins Along a trail of memories I hear her voice... it breaks - - As she's crying And thus the mourning begins Inside these walls of apathy I never knew how to ease her sorrow
How did you ever find the key? Why did you open the cabinet? The shining piece of deadly steel So heavy in your tiny hands
The shot that tore the night in two The blood that stained the carpet The bag they put your body in I wish they'd sealed ME in instead
Roses on a coffin... as you slowly sink - - Into the earth Mourners softly sobbing... I can't even cry - - i'm numb with hurt We never stood a chance... our bond - - So fragile Where could we go from here... NOWHERE
And so I fled into another world A world inside my mind, not to be reached Compled denial this never happened I had to shut her out to save - - The last bits of my sanity
And so she fled, into another life A life without me, without this grief Complete estrangement I let it happen She had to get away or turn to stone - - Just like me
