Alesana - a lunatic lament

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 with 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 right.

Darling will you please (please) 
take a walk with me
We could count the stars and 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
I could have married you, instead I buried you 
Now we'll see if I can fall asleep alone (alone) 

Darling will you please (please) 
take a walk with me 
We can count the stars and 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 nightmare's coming true Are you satisfied? (Are you satisfied?) 
Are you satisfied? (Are you satisfied?)
I did it all for you. Are you satisfied? (Are you satisfied?)

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

Darling will you please (please) 
take a walk with me 
We can count the stars and 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? (Are you satisfied?) 
The depth of a man's soul 
can not be measured in a matter 
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 Had it only been a different night, a different place, a different kind 
of man passing by the threshold 
of that innocent pub. 
runken piano playing.

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 the exclamations of mirth
became the desperate screams of the helpless, 
begging for their very lives.
