:omg:
 




Two hands trembling
The chill has settled now
This house won't change
Coffee won't warm the fade
A wafting smoke
Released from blackened lungs,
These trembling hands
And open eyes that stare at them

Translucent skin
I fade into the grey
Surrounded with
Faded walls that embrace me
They'll never know
I've been so clean and subtle
These trembling hands
Have no blood upon them

Lost in time,
In and out of focus
Motion blur,
Moves so fast
Nothings clear
In and out of focus,
Motion blur,
Moves so fast
   -then off again

Things seem so easy
Motion stop simplicity
Happened again
The thing I swore against
A wafting smoke
Released from blackened lungs,
These trembling hands
And a neck that's clutched between them

Chorus twice

How can you forgive me?
How can you say anything anymore?
How can I forgive me?
When you are lying there so soft and still upon the floor?

This is one of my favorite songs from the record that I've been working on. I actually wrote the song as an acoustic track, but I realized fairly quickly that it would be an excellent fit for this album and the lyrical topic fit quite well with the theme.

In the story, this is basically where the protagonist kills his wife because he believes he's going to get her out of Hell and give her a second chance at life--but he's overcome with the grief of having killed the one thing he cared about more than any other.
