A Lunatic's Lament Songtext
von Alesana

If only you could see...
If only you could see...
(You′re the only girl I've ever dreamed of)
If only you could see...
If only you could see...

Should I apologize to such pathetic eyes?
Just the sight of you has made me sick tonight (Tonight!)
It was your poison kiss that turned me into this
Then again there is a chance you could be mine, tonight

Darling, will you please take a walk with me?
We can count the stars then disappear... (I wish you could see)
I wish you could see, you′re the only girl I've ever dreamed of
Are you satisfied?

(Are you satisfied?)
(Are you satisfied?)

What fate has led me here! Oh, please, forgive me dear!
I don't know if I could survive on my own (My own!)
I could have married you, instead I buried you
Now I will see if I can fall asleep alone (Alone!)


Darling, will you please take a walk with me?
We can count the stars then disappear... (I wish you could see)
I wish you could see, you′re the only girl I′ve ever dreamed of
Are you satisfied?

(Are you satisfied?)
The nightmares coming true
(Are you satisfied?)
It was all for you
(Are you satisfied?)
I did it all for you
(Are you satisfied?)

I wish you could see, you're the only girl I′ve ever dreamed of

Darling, will you please take a walk with me?
We can count the stars then disappear... (I wish you could see)
I wish you could see, you're the only girl I′ve ever dreamed of
Are you satisfied?

Are you satisfied?

The depths of a man's soul can not be measured
In a manner of meters and fathoms
But rather it is in my opinion only quantified
By his proximity to heaven and hell


It was in such a state that I ushered myself past the town tavern
Bursting at the seams with the sounds of laughter and drunken piano playing
Had it only been a different night, a different place
Or a different kind of man passing by the threshold of that innocent pub
The events that transpired at that point
Would have undoubtedly been drastically different
I can only guess if anyone outside that place had a clue
When those exclamations of mirth
Became the desperate screams of the helpless, begging for their very lives
