Paradox

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Shawn Milke] 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 [Refrain: Shane Crump, Dennis Lee & Shawn Milke] Immortality will still be mine 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 [Pre-Chorus: Dennis Lee & Shawn Milke] Unleash the myth (I'm trapped) Living in your worst fears (Don't wait) [Chorus: Shawn Milke, Shawn Milke & Dennis Lee, Dennis Lee] 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 story is ending) The villainess, the broken bride, we sit and watch the world's collide [Verse 2: Dennis Lee, Shawn Milke & Shane Crump] 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 [Pre-Chorus: Dennis Lee & Shawn Milke] Unleash the myth (I'm trapped) Living in your worst fears (Don't wait) [Chorus: Shawn Milke, Shawn Milke & Dennis Lee, Dennis Lee] 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 story is ending) The villainess, the broken bride, we sit and watch the world's collide [Breakdown: Dennis Lee, Shawn Milke & Shane Crump] 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 [Bridge: Shawn Milke, Shawn Milke & Dennis Lee] No longer Fatima, goddess, light I've become Rusalka, demon of night [Refrain: Dennis Lee, Shawn Milke & Shane Crump] 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) [Chorus: Shawn Milke, Shawn Milke & Dennis Lee, Dennis Lee] 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 story is ending) The villainess, the broken bride, we sit and watch the world's collide [Post-Chorus: Dennis Lee, Shawn Milke & Shane Crump] Page abandoned (We sit and watch the world's collide) Time is ending (We sit and watch the world's collide; make them sonnets) [Outro: Melissa Milke] 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
