Story behind the song
This is the second phase of a relationship i was in.
Lyrics
The valleys in her wrists
were dug to make her sleep
and to replace the words
she couldn't bare to speak
her self portrait sad
and on my lap it lies
She gently drew her face
and exed out the eyes
A tear fell from her cheek
one she couldn't hide
she smiled up at me
as if to say "Good bye"
I sat and watched her leave
to wash away the shame
she took a knife
concealed like her pain
night after night
in my dreams, i still feel you beside me
bleeding and pleading to just let you die
your in my every night mare and wont let go
no matter what i try
I'm not the one who abandoned you
lied to you
battered or cheated, put a value on your life
this is not my past its theirs,
you make me pay their price
I set my drink aside
and went to make the bed
a night of holding her
would erase the life ive led
a note is all i see
one to make you weep
my heart was breaking as
it drifted to my feet.
Silence at the door,
I asked if she was still with me
she told me she was fine,
i asked if i could see
the devils lullaby
who should i believe
a desperate woman's lie
told to set her free.
Ive seen that look before
the surprise i felt. i should have known
when i looked into her eyes
after begging and pleading she let me in
and i finely saw what was on her mind all night
All the blood
all the pills
all the pain
all the men in her life, Tarnishing her name
Even though im not to blame
I feel it all the same.
Rose petals on my bed
once blue, they've turned crimson red.
Wont get them out of my head until im dead
Please stay out of my dreams
im skin deep from giving up
Give me my salvation my sweet incubus
Images that you've left, so gnarled and demeaning
Wont leave me until i blow them out my head
Trapped in the arms of sleep,
squeezing out dream after dream
to her sweet voice, i am lead into her web
