lyrics

This dark, winding path
Gives way to beautiful scenes
The moon peers through the trees
So bright tonight, but something's not right
The sounds of dead leaves
Crumble below her feet
Can't seem to shake this horrible feeling
As if she's being watched, or maybe hunted

She hears a noise behind her
And feels immediate regret
She should have stayed home tonight
Sounds like footsteps approaching
And so she picks up her pace
But it was no use

While daylight has died
A red sky remains
The constant emptiness
Soon fades away
He breathes a sigh of relief
He's fought through her deceit
And as she dies tonight
He'll shed no more tears

A shallow hole meant for two
But there's only one less soul
A ruffled black dress, dirt stained
Red lipstick smearing away

The overwhelming feeling
Of guilt is slowly rising
This endless night of pain
Brings forth no tomorrow
This love has bled
For one last time
A cold embrace in the night
Is such a tragedy
It was such a tragedy

Two bodies remain without a reason why
No signs of struggle and no blood in sight
Abused and consumed every ounce of hate
He trickled into her eyes

A crowd began to gather
Around the yellow tape
Perhaps hoping to see something
Too terrible to look at

about

masnema Ypsilanti, Michigan

We aren't something that you'd hear every day, nor a breed all our own. We write what we like to hear, which can be different at times or more of a remix of our own influences. Just about everything is an homage of something already created, after all. Chuck Palahniuk once said "Nothing of me is original. I am the combined effort of everybody I've ever known." ... more
