Velvet vows cast in midnight ink,

Thorned promises from which we'd drink,

Now your ghost licks it's bloodstained lips,

A kiss that never gives.

I carved my name in these shadows deep,

Danced barefoot on broken heaps,

"Forever" etched in rot and dust

You were the one I was cursed to trust.

You said Forever,

You said together,

And I believed you...

Yeah

I guess I believed you...

Deep in my bones hums a bitter good-bye

Your hallow laughs cutting deep through me

And I believed you...

Oh Yeah I believed you!

Old rusted keys bitter in my throat,

Unlocked heart stained by these quotes

Your shadow's a languid flood,

Dragging me down like so much mud.

I lived a lie,

I slowly died,

And still I traced

Your silhouette in the sky.

Why did I cling to this decay?

Stars fade as I turn away.

You said Together,

You said Forever,

And I believed you...

Yeah

I guess I believed you...

Now my bones long for sweet good-bye

Your laugh an echo faded to a sigh

And I believed you...

Oh Yeah I believed you!

Face against the cold hard glass,

Watching rivers of rain fall past.

A new life's waiting beyond this door,

Was I ever yours?

...

I can't tell anymore.

The road's a serpent stretching long through time,

Terrified of a future that could be sublime,

New life waits at the end of this trail,

Well past the reach of your blackmail.

Crimson petals fall on blackened snow,

A requiem only we will know.

Sun streams in from a sky so blue,

You'll be the ghost that I outgrew.

We said forever,

We said together,

In a past's grey echo

And I believed you...

I won't believe you...

I can't believe

you...

I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU!

...

I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU!

NO WON'T BELIEVE YOU!

NO

I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU!
