Pathetic, Ordinary Songtext
von Alesana

She haunts me
In dreams, I see her silhouette
Dance across landscapes of
Golden light and autumn
In my dreams

Her soft eyes see (the things I′d give)
Through my tortured soul (to prove myself to her)
Vanishing (to make her see)
Any hope for fantasy

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

Frigid air leaves me breathless (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 (frigid air leaves me breathless)
Foolish agony fills my lungs
As I try to scream for her
I confess, I scare myself
Scare myself

Frigid air leaves me breathless (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


Skies so burdened
Let her go
As cold rain falls
So does she

My desires wither, broken once more
And soft hands take one so fair
