Opeth Album

The drugs begin to peak
A smile of joy arrives in me
But sedation changes to panic and nausea
And breath starts to shorten
And heartbeats pound softer
You won't try to save me
You just want to hurt me
And leave me desperate

You taught my heart
A sense I never knew I had
I can't forget
The times that I was
Lost and depressed from the awful truth
How do you do it
You're my heroine

You won't leave me alone
Chisel my heart out of stone
I give in everytime

You taught my heart
A sense I never knew I had
I can't forget
The times that I was
Lost and depressed from the awful truth
How do you do it
You're my heroine

I bet you laugh, at the thought of me thinking for myself (myself)
I bet you believe, that I'm better off with you than someone else
Your face arrives again, all hope I had becomes surreal
But under your covers more torture than pleasure
And just past your lips there's more anger than laughter
Not now or forever will I ever change you
I know that to go on, I'll break you, my habit

You taught my heart
A sense I never knew I had
I can't forget
The times when I was
Lost and depressed form the awful truth
How do you do it
You're my heroine

I will save myself

In the corner beside my window
There hangs a lonely photograph
There is no reason
I'd never notice
A memory that could hold me back

There is a wound that's always bleeding
There is a road I'm always walking
And I know you'll never return to this place

Gone through days without talking
There is a comfort in silence
So used to losing all ambition
Struggling to maintain what's left

Once undone, there is only smoke
Burning in my eyes to blind
To cover up what really happened
Force the darkness unto me

Out on the road there are fireflies circling
Deep in the woods, Where the lost souls hide
Over the hill there are men returning
Trying to find some peace of mind

Sleep my child

Under the fog there are shadows moving
Don't be afraid, Hold my hand
Into the dark there are eyelids closing
Buried alive in the shifting sands

Sleep my child

Speak to me now and the world will crumble
Open a door and the moon will fall
All of your life, All your memories
Go to your dreams, Forget it all

Sleep my child

Heal myself-A feather on my heart
Look inside-There never was a start
Peel myself-Dispose of severed skin
All subsides-Around me and within

There's nothing painful in this
There's no upheaval
Redemption for my pathos
All sins undone

Awaiting word on what's to come
In helpless prayers a hope lives on
As I've come clean I've forgotten what I promised
In the rays of the sun I am longing for the darkness

Stay with me awhile
Rise above the vile
Lay my final rest
Poured into my chest

Into the orchard I walk peering way past the gate
Wilted scenes for us who couldn't wait
Drained by the coldest caress, stalking shadows ahead
Halo of death, all I see is departure
Mourner's lament but it's me who's the martyr

Pledge yourself to me
Never leave me be
Sweat breaks on my brow
Given time ends now

Into the orchard I walk peering way past the gate
Wilted scenes for us who couldn't wait
Drained by the coldest caress, stalking shadows ahead
Halo of death, all I see is departure
Mourner's lament but it's me who's the martyr

Spirit painted sin
Embers neath my skin
Veiled in pale embrace
Reached and touched my face

Into the orchard I walk peering way past the gate
Wilted scenes for us who couldn't wait
Drained by the coldest caress, stalking shadows ahead
(Release your grip, let me go, into the night)
Halo of death, All I see is departure
Mourner's lament but it's me who's the martyr

Your life lives half a nation away,
my heart hurts so.
I believe letting you go was the biggest mistake of my life. What did I do?
Alone and confused.
What can I say?
What can I do?
I'm heading the wrong way home.
Knowing alone is alone.
It's just too difficult to be just me instead of we.
What did I do?
Alone and confused.
What can I say?
Nothing.
I don't know where to begin since you left me for him.
I don't know where to begin and you left me for him.
I don't want to start again, and I can't be your friend.
I don't know where to begin since you left me for him.

[No lyrics]

When everyone has left me here,
I'll make it on my own.
just wait and see.
maybe if you came back down,
you'd see it happening to you.
maybe you'd even care.
hear me out,
I don't think you'll make it out.
hear me out,
see the writing on the wall.
burn your bridge and wear your heart out on your sleeve.
you know you won't fool me.
you made all these promises.
you broke all these promises to me.
follow your heart this time.
did you mean all those things you said?
even when you said you'd never change.
writing you letters you never read.
waste my breath on paper.
when you reflect do you get that feeling like you used to?
and every time you run away.
I know you still have memories.
now that you've left.
make me feel like I'm gone.
you did all these things I hated.
