Penance |
| I watch the clock hands go by, time after time |
| I dream of leaving this place |
| If I could leave the past behind |
| Then I would just fade away, and cease to exist |
| Well, it would cleanse all my pain |
| It’s a shame that I ever lived |
| The devil on my shoulder, he whispers to me |
| And dribbles such a never-ending cacophony |
| Into my ear to blind the joy that tries to reach out to me |
| Such a dulcet suffering, why can’t anyone see? |
| Penance: a lesson in misery |
| You studied my rise as you watched my fall |
| I wrote my love in the cracks of the cracks of the wall |
| You’ll read that «Dying in vain, it was as good as it looked» |
| In a forget-me-not written in the spine of a book |
| I’ve wasted my time falling in love |
| With the thought of falling in love with someone |
| Am I killing time, or killing myself? |
| I think I’m killing myself sometimes, oh |
| Penance: a lesson in misery |
| Penance: a lesson in misery |
| You studied my rise as you watched my fall |
| I wrote my love in the cracks of the cracks of the wall |
| You’ll read that «Dying in vain, it was as good as it looked» |
| In a forget-me-not written in the spine of a book |
| Well, I could never grow trees |
| Still, I planted my seeds |
| Sadly, you will see, eternal sunshine won’t blossom me |
| I am enough to feel happiness and love |
| It’s hard to say out loud, «I deserve to be happy now» |
| Well, I deserve to be happy now |
| You, penance: a lesson in misery |
| Well, I deserve to be happy now |
