Catharsis Songtext
von Alesana

This is the final act
Please take your seats
This is the moment that you′ve been waiting for
This is gonna be a wild ride

Your telltale heart is beating, unstable minds descend
I'm through trying to reach you, I am the emptiness
Our love will nevermore attach your soul to mine
You don′t understand, time is on my side now baby
And time is running out

Do not believe in imitations
We're falling for the fiction
We have to crave a masterpiece beneath the ink
There's more than meets the eye

The end is dawning
The sun is setting on a silent mourning
Our stars aligning as universes shatter time
I′m resisting reality


I remember when, my love
You could stop time with just a smile
Save it for tomorrow, my love
I′ll regret those words forever more

I danced with our accuser, murderer from the start
Climbed out of Tartarus for one last night with you
You don't understand we are poetry now, baby
But time is running out

Do not believe in imitations
We′re falling for the fiction
We have to crave a masterpiece beneath the ink
There's more than meets the eye

The end is dawning
The sun is setting on a silent mourning
Our stars aligning as universes shatter time
I′m resisting reality

I remember when, my love
You could stop time with just a smile
Save it for tomorrow, my love
I'll regret those words forever more


(The end is dawning, the sun is setting on a silent mourning) I remember when, my love
You could stop time with just a smile
(Our stars aligning as universes shatter time) save it for tomorrow, my love
I′ll regret those words forever more

The end is dawning
The sun is setting on a silent mourning
Our stars aligning as universes shatter time

Have you ever actually seen yourself without a mirror
Have you ever actually seen yourself without a mirror
Have you ever actually seen yourself without a mirror
Have you ever actually seen yourself without a mirror

I must be dreaming
I drop the knife
Turn and see you
You can't be me
I can't be you
Oh my God, where am I
Let me go, let me go
Save me from this nightmare
Annabel, I cannot be lying there

Ah, ah, ah, ah-ah
My ′Bel, you know you′re the cause of this
Ah, ah, ah, ah-ah
If you had not left me then
Ah, ah, ah, ah-ah
He would not have lost his mind
Ah, ah, ah, ah-ah
If you're seeking forgiveness you have come to the wrong place

The compass spins
What′s that feeling in your stomach
First a flutter now a shudder
Creeping up your spine, and now you know that something's not right
Something lurking something peering inching closer, inching closer
Trying not to think about it trying not to think about it
It′s here

Foregrounds burst to nothing
As symmetry explodes
The artist screams and beauty dies, his canvas rends
While his easel burns
He's lost everything in, but one cruel instant existence swept away
Did man even notice as he was erased

Have you ever actually seen yourself without a mirror
Have you ever actually seen yourself without a mirror
Have you ever actually seen yourself without a mirror
