Alesana - Daggers Speak Louder Than Words

Eyes open to splattered blood,
Cold tile mocks me as I arise to find
The knife is still in my back,
Shifting thoughts now slow with venom
Take me as I stagger...is this all we were worth?
I've lost you for good without regret,
Your once gentle words are bleeding from my eyes,
Screams of terror now fill my every breath,
I know you'll rue the day you ever met me,
I'll lay you down to sleep when sorrow will bury the blade hilt deep

You know I would have died for you,
Now I'm forced to choose between a life of revenge or regret
As I thirst for vengeance, my heart struggles to come to grips,
Why would you leave me to die, turn, and walk away?

Alone, you stood so still as you watched me break,
Did it now kill you too? What has led you to the dagger, my friend?

You know I would have died for you,
Now I'm forced to choose between a life of revenge or regret
As I thirst for vengeance, my heart struggles to come to grips,
Why would you leave me to die, turn, and walk away?

My revenge is made so clear midst cold tears left with the betrayed,
I'll see that you never forget this,
I will hunt you down like a dog,
Lies could never disguise what I saw behind me in you,
Remembering times we have shared...my friend, life is gone,
We'll let the embers serve as the only memory of last days
So long ago

Why would you leave me to die, turn, and walk away?
Why would you leave me to die after you had buried the dagger hilt deep?

...You're dead to me...
I would have died for you,
Now I'm forced to choose between a life of revenge or regret
As I thirst for vengeance, my heart struggles to come to grips,
Why would you leave me to die, turn, and walk away?
...You're dead to me..
