Hymn for the Shameless

Lyrics

[Intro: Shawn Milke] Saw your eyes today in a memory painted in the sky You smiled and said to me, "A love like this can never truly die" [Verse 1: Dennis Lee & Shawn Milke] So now the show's over, and I've got to disguise the thing I've become I only wish I could stop laughing I grin because the joke is on them this time They don't have a clue [Chorus: Shawn Milke, Dennis Lee, Shawn Milke & Melissa Milke] Calm consumes me (I) I shut my eyes, and once again, the pleasure strangles me (Immerse) I taste the tears of sweet indulgence, pain, and fantasy (Myself) Oh, the visions inside my head (In self-reflection) The emptiness will haunt you (I) Sanity is slowly slipping from my hands now (Immerse) I'm standing closer to the edge than I should be allowed (Myself) Oh, what little regret I have (In self-reflection) Does that make me a killer? [Verse 2: Dennis Lee] I am the face of death standing right Behind you, yet you're oblivious To my cold breath on your neck Is it just too easy? Am I just too good at this? I am the chosen one, I am the end of all And now you are mine [Chorus: Shawn Milke, Dennis Lee, Shawn Milke & Melissa Milke] Calm consumes me (I) I shut my eyes, and once again, the pleasure strangles me (Immerse) I taste the tears of sweet indulgence, pain, and fantasy (Myself) Oh, the visions inside my head (In self-reflection) The emptiness will haunt you (I) Sanity is slowly slipping from my hands now (Immerse) I'm standing closer to the edge than I should be allowed (Myself) Oh, what little regret I have (In self-reflection) Does that make me a killer? [Bridge: Shawn Milke] Saw your eyes today in a memory painted in the sky You smiled and said to me, "A love like this can never truly die" Let's just say you're right and the nightmare ends, we wake up side by side What makes you think that I would let you live? I've really lost my mind [Breakdown: Dennis Lee & Shawn Milke] Behold, for I am the will of the reaper Beg for the mercy of your worthless angels [Chorus: Shawn Milke, Dennis Lee, Shawn Milke & Melissa Milke] As relief washes over me, calm consumes me (I) I shut my eyes, and once again, the pleasure strangles me (Immerse) I taste the tears of sweet indulgence, pain, and fantasy (Myself) Oh, the visions inside my head (In self-reflection) The emptiness will haunt you (I) Sanity is slowly slipping from my hands now (Immerse) I'm standing closer to the edge than I should be allowed (Myself) Oh, what little regret I have (In self-reflection) Does that make me a killer? (I) I shut my eyes, and once again, the pleasure strangles me (Immerse) I taste the tears of sweet indulgence, pain, and fantasy (Myself) Oh, the visions inside my head (In self-reflection) The emptiness will haunt you (I) Sanity is slowly slipping from my hands now (Immerse) I'm standing closer to the edge than I should be allowed (Myself) Oh, what little regret I have (In self-reflection) Does that make me a killer? (I) I shut my eyes, and once again, the pleasure strangles me (Immerse) I taste the tears of sweet indulgence, pain, and fantasy (Myself) Oh, the visions inside my head (In self-reflection) The emptiness will haunt you (I) Sanity is slowly slipping from my hands now (Immerse) I'm standing closer to the edge than I should be allowed (Myself) Oh, what little regret I have (In self-reflection) Does that make—
