Portrait

She's draped across the bathtub
Or lying on the floor
So cold her pale white skin
I'll touch her to be sure, blind redemption

The words were draped in broken embers
Regret is all that I have

I can't seem to sleep without her face
The lines under my eyes
Foretell my sleepless nights
Why am I holding on? Denial of frail wrists

The words were draped in broken embers
Regret is all that I have
And I need you to paint this portrait in my mind
To take away my pain

Take away my pain
Where she is pure and silent

[Solo]

So crawl back into the womb
Pre-mortal emancipation
The scars ripped across her neck
Mimic the holes of trephination, throw her back

The words were draped in broken embers
Regret is all that I have
And I need you to paint this portrait in my mind
To take away my pain

Take away my pain
