"To A Breathless Oblivion" lyrics - THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER

The chair's been kicked
A rope tied to the rafters
Blue faced and broken necked I sigh
Relieving my vision from the sick mocking stare
Of that hated sun burning the sky
Slumped like a headless scarecrow
Cold and limp against the wall
Blood paints a pattern of rorschach's design
Thawing the winter that burdens this heart

[Pre-Chorus:]
Shit stained and shameful
An exit in disgrace
Not a splash, but just a ripple left
I end this life in vain
In vain

In the dead of the darkness I breach the still lake
Toward the reflection of the moon
The night colored liquids arresting my lungs
Finally at peace in this watery tomb

[Pre-Chorus:]
Destroy this fragile body
To be gorged upon by worms
Not a splash just a ripple is left
In the wake of my merciless scorn

[Chorus:]
Beyond those cursed stars above
Lies the answer that I seek
On the backs of bullets rides my name
Longing to kiss my cheek
Resentfully decline
Retire this hated life
Without guilt I break these veins
Carved with salvation's knife

Turn not away
Avert not your face
This is how it was meant to be
In silence found hanging there 'bove a pool of waste
The beauteous workings of mortality
No one can truly touch another
Parallel never to cross
Pointless fumbling, sad mistake
Only capable of pain

[Chorus:]
Beyond those cursed stars above
Lies the answer that I seek
On the backs of bullets rides my name
Longing to kiss my cheek
Resentfully decline
Retire this hated life
Without guilt I break these veins
Carved with salvation's knife

[Outro (fades out):]
Beyond those cursed stars above
Lies the answer that I seek
On the backs of bullets rides my name
Longing to kiss my cheek
Resentfully decline
Retire this hated life
Without guilt I break these veins
Carved with salvation's knife

Beyond those cursed stars above
Lies the answer that I seek
On the backs of bullets...
