Lyrics: Alesana. On Frail Wings of Vanity And Wax. Pathetic, Ordinary.

She haunts me in dreams
I see her silhouette dance
Across landscapes of golden
Light and autumn in my dreams

Her soft eyes see through my tortured soul
Vanishing any hope for fantasy
The thing I'd give to prove myself to her
To make her see

Jaded eyes awake
As her selfish words rain
From such placid lips
Still I kiss her silken flesh

Frigid air leaves me breathless
Foolish agony fills my lungs
As I try to scream for her

I confess, I scare myself
Through the howling wind
On my knees, I cry listen to me

I'm broken by her silence to a love unseen
Blood soaked feathers rained down
My wingless angel, so broken
Falls gracefully from the sky
To waiting arms, to waiting arms

Frigid air leaves me breathless
Foolish agony fills my lungs
As I try to scream for her

I confess, I scare myself
Through the howling wind
On my knees, I cry, listen to me

Such foolish agony fills my lungs
As I try to scream for her
Jaded eyes wake to the sounds
Of my voice as I scream to her

In dreams I've seen her
Silhouette dance across golden light
And autumn in my dreams
