Paradox Lyrics - Confessions - Alesana

Dearest love, I hope this finds you well 

I am kidding this is probably hell 

Lonely stranger with a brush in hand 

Never saw me sneaking up on him 

Tonight say goodbye to what you thought you knew 

They'll blame the blood spilled on you 

I'm closing my eyes, one more kiss before I never wake again 

Two moves ahead of you 

You are a pawn 

Castle now but I'm behind your king 

As your queen lays bleeding on the board 

Accept you have lost the game, misjudged your enemy 

Unleash the myth living in your worst fears 

I'm trapped, don't wait 

Page abandoned, the stories write themselves 

The author lost his way again and he forgot to write the end 

Race towards the sun, seeing who comes undone 

The villainess, the broken bride, we sit and watch the world's collide 

The story is ending 

Would you remember Joan of Arc was her flesh yet unlicked by flame 

Will you remember how the waves crash on the shores of time 

Who would've ever known that each choice made sense 

Who could've ever known 

Are we not our actions 

Our lives are poetry, make them sonnets 

Unleash the myth living in your worst fears 

I'm trapped, don't wait 

Page abandoned, the stories write themselves 

The author lost his way again and he forgot to write the end 

Race towards the sun, seeing who comes undone 

The villainess, the broken bride, we sit and watch the world's collide 

The story is ending 

Why do the floorboards creak like a heartbeat 

This room is driving me insane 

What's behind the bricks 

Who's rapping at my chamber door 

Pendulum, why do you torment me 

What am I saying, have I lost my mind 

I am her 

No longer Fatima, goddess, light 

I've become Rusalka, demon of night 

Two moves ahead of you 

You are a pawn 

Castle now but I'm behind your king 

As your queen lays bleeding on the board 

Accept you have lost the game, misjudged your enemy 

Don't wait 

Page abandoned, the stories write themselves 

The author lost his way again and he forgot to write the end 

Race towards the sun, seeing who comes undone 

The villainess, the broken bride, we sit and watch the world's collide 

Page abandoned, time is ending 

The story is ending, make them sonnets 

We sit and watch the world's collide 

The night that I died I had become Rusalka. 

I was no longer me. I was no longer Annabel 

The beautiful evil coursed through my veins 

And I saw so clearly what needed to be done 

As you lay, fast asleep, I penned her farewell 

And kissed your cheek. The knife felt so light in my hand 

So heavy in my stomach. There is something about this room
