Catharsis Lyrics - Confessions - Alesana

This is the final act 

Please take your seats 

This is the moment that you've been waiting for 

This is gonna be a wild ride 

Your telltale heart is beating, unstable minds descend 

I'm through trying to reach you, I am the emptiness 

Our love will nevermore attach your soul to mine 

You don't understand, time is on my side now baby 

And time is running out 

Do not believe in imitations 

We have to crave a masterpiece beneath the ink 

We're falling for the fiction 

There's more than meets the eye 

The end is dawning 

The sun is setting on a silent mourning 

Our stars aligning as universes shatter time 

I'm resisting reality 

I remember when, my love 

You could stop time with just a smile 

Save it for tomorrow, my love 

I'll regret those words forever more 

I danced with our accuser, murderer from the start 

Climbed out of Tartarus for one last night with you 

You don't understand we are poetry now, baby 

But time is running out 

Do not believe in imitations 

We have to crave a masterpiece beneath the ink 

We're falling for the fiction 

There's more than meets the eye 

The end is dawning 

The sun is setting on a silent mourning 

Our stars aligning as universes shatter time 

I'm resisting reality 

I remember when, my love 

You could stop time with just a smile 

Save it for tomorrow, my love 

I'll regret those words forever more 

The end is dawning 

The sun is setting on a silent mourning 

Our stars aligning as universes shatter time 

Have you ever actually seen yourself without a mirror 

I must be dreaming 

I drop the knife 

Turn and see you 

You can't be me 

I can't be you 

Oh my God, where am I 

Let me go, let me go 

Save me from this nightmare 

Annabel, I can not be lying there 

My 'Bel, you know you're the cause of this 

If you had not left me then he would not have lost his mind 

If you're seeking forgiveness you have come to the wrong place 

The compass spins 

What's that feeling in your stomach 

First a flutter now a shudder 

Creeping up your spine and now you know that something's not right 

Something lurking something peering inching closer inching closer 

Trying not to think about it trying not to think about it 

It's here 

Foregrounds burst to nothing 

As symmetry explodes 

The artist screams and beauty dies, his canvas rends 

While his easel burns 

He's lost everything in but one cruel instant existence swept away 

Did man even notice as he was erased
