Nothing In Vain

by Most Precious Blood

/
1.
This moment is all that I own Tonight I shut my eyes with you on my mind Attempts in vain to forget that you left me to die But I've grown tired of collecting myself from the ground At your mercy, lost and never found Burn my fingertips so no one knows my name The wait could crush my heart one last wish in vain Its colder than it looks outside Ive watched this world pass by my tired eyes Accept this as my farewell note To this world, to this city and to you This time I want it to kill Cannot bear it again This is all I own This unmailed letter, this dead embrace This fleeting moment all that I own So curse this instinct, this hollow hope This boundless desire that's left me here

Apparition 03:28
You always knew just how to bury your sins beneath my skin i am the fevered words you wished you'd never said i am the saddest song that haunts you in your sleep i am the thought that wakes you from your sweetest dreams Tonight I'll walk these halls Studying the cracks in the walls To die internally To die eternally The death of all that i dreamed shaken from your sweetest dream From deaths grasp i shall rise and will rise one last time when the tears top the laughter its time to go home and here i am the greatest lie you ever told i am the incision that leaves behind the deepest scar i am your heart when your head says walk away No one dies no dies alone i'll send this chill straight through your bones i am not anyone you know ghost from your past here to seize your soul

Sincerely 01:59
This sin in my heart will tear us apart Theres sin in my heart Love will tear us apart Happiness is solitude When theres no one left to depend on I walked a thousand miles through your lies And so will you, so will you? Kill me Tell me Everything falls apart Kill me Tell me Try and break this cold heart Kill me Tell me You thought it would never end Kill me Tell me When we meet again

In Effigy 02:16
you've watched me die For the final time This bloodsoaked eulogy that at last is mine But i've thought this through as I waited for you To carry me home in your lifeless arms Wait for sleep to grant me This serenity I seek Solace can only be found In everlasting sleep How can I fear death? I'll never feel it I want to die before you I want to die for you But I'll never feel it Tonight the circle closes indefinitely Burn my cold heart in effigy, empty my pockets for the thieves Life has run me through, as I waited for you To carry me home in your lifeless arms Burn my heart in effigy
5.
The Knot 01:47
And I, I search for something more Before it mattered who you knew And I, I search for something pure Before the knot became the noose Theres no disguise behind these eyes I'm still alive watching you die And as I slowly walk away I hear you say - I never change. And I , I always hoped for more Before this knot came loose And now I seek out something pure Before the knot became the noose In the rearview mirror before the knot became noose Horizon of burning bridges before the knot became noose The knot became the noose

The Lantern 02:01
You were supposed to be invincible Invincible What happens to you Happens to me Solidarity Forever family I'd give my own life Just to save yours My true creator When death darkens the door Love is stronger than death You are stronger than death What have you seen through those eyes? Tell me what real fear is like No solace when nothing is sure This time I won't question the cure You were supposed to be invincible Invincible What happened to you Happened to me Solidarity Immortality I'd give my own life Just to save yours My true creator When death darkens these doors Love is stronger than death You are stronger than death What have you seen through those eyes? Tell me what real fear is like No solace when nothing is sure This time I won't question the cure Carry the lantern high

Morphine 02:37
Rest easy foes for tonight my eyes will close I always held my tongue assuming tomorrow would always come But another day has passed, I still cant see the end What wrong turn, led me to his end? Woke up, quenching razors again These faces are not my friend Dodging trains in my sleep Days as long as years, beyond belief The authors of the prophecies are dead and gone The authors of your epitaph have just been born Your deathbed is not a wishing well
8.
Anywhere but here Anytime but now Anyone but you I don't want to make assumptions but if I have to then I will You never really cared You were never really there What it once meant Still means a lot to me With or without you I still dare to breathe And after the fall Somehow above it all But I still dare to breathe The more things change The more I stay the same As the world unravels I remain ..And the band played on... I remain
9.
My epitaph shall say "and come what may" With a grain of salt I walked away Commit the past into blue flame They're not crying - I'm not crying We found you hiding - We found you lying Unfazed Unchanged Tomorrows too late Into blue flame Tomorrows too late With a grain of salt I walked away With my eyes shut into the fray The worlds on fire theres no turning back An empty shell, from heaven I fell With a grain of salt I walked away Commit the past into blue flame They're not crying - I'm not crying We found you hiding - We found you lying And Come What May (No matter what may come What's done is done)
10.
Forever waiting for you to let me down. Reaching for heaven, to fall to the ground. Heroes and Conspiracies. Just like a rose ripped from its root. You're so beautiful and waiting to die. Heroes and Conspiracies. Would you grant me one final kiss? Impaled on the sharpest thorn, these are my wrists. Here we are, Face to face. Without a clue of what to say. Alone at last no questions asked. Another secret to my game. Now that it's gone was it ever that at all?
11.
This a monument to failure (victims) of our own design I submit to your cold heart With arson as closure Sifting through the rubble The burning pile of ash Drawn into the flame Can't seem to turn away "Love and you will be loved", "Trust, you will be trusted" I can set a watch to your change of heart Sifting through the rubble The burning pile of ash Drawn into the flame Can't seem to turn away Ground these ashes into your palm these are your memories Carve these words into my arm these are my memories Ground these ashes into your palm - can't resist the siren song Carve these word into my arm - can't resist the siren song Sifting through the rubble The burning pile of ash Drawn into the flame Can't seem to turn away To breathe... To burn I swallowed the truth like razors Can't resist the Siren Song
12.
Bound by inability and let suffer the absence. Words have failed me once again. Attempts at completion have again left me empty. Fate's design has forced me to live without. And when I close my eyes I envision one so undeserving of your presence, one who does not appreciate you as I, one who needs not struggle with your absence
