Pale Eyes
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
God above's frowning down on me
As I try to hide her body where no one else can see (no one else can see)
Down in the basement, where no one will know
But they can tell by the sorrow I show
Stitch a motherfucking mask on my face
And rid myself from the setting where this all took place
My love's supposed to be with me forever
But I can't even remember all of the skin that I've severed
Pale eyes solemnly staring at me
Pale skin, turning green
Blood dried to the sides of her lips
Dependent lividity setting in on her hips
I can't live my life, with hers lost in the basement
I can't use my eyes, after what they've seen
Turn around, what's that sound? Who is watching me?
I'll be protected by the devil watching over me
All the guilt setting in, with an empty brain
The lifelessness in her eyes will drive me insane
Hell below has a spot for me
For my kill, for my penance and my apathy
Heaven above will reject my plea
For forgiveness and sanity
Turn around, what's that sound? Who is watching me?
I'll be protected by the devil watching over me
All the guilt setting in, with an empty brain
The lifelessness in her eyes, I want to feel her pain
It's really happening; here's your eternal bed
It's really happening; my love now rest your head
It's really happening; here's your eternal bed
It's really happening; forever fucking with my head
My knees become weak as I fall to the floor
My acquiescence of finally putting her body to rest
Has left me in utter turmoil
Nobody is watching me, nobody is after me
The only two presences in this room is myself, and my guilt
What would have been three has exited the room hastily
Her soul has been disconnected from her body, much like my sanity
