The Autumn Offering - Portrait lyrics

She's draped across the bathtub Or lying on the floor So cold her pale white skin I'll touch her to be sure, blind redemption The words were draped in broken embers Regret is all that I have I can't seem to sleep without her face The lines under my eyes Foretell my sleepless nights Why am I holding on? Denial of frail wrists The words were draped in broken embers Regret is all that I have I need you to paint this portrait in my mind To take away my pain Take away my pain Where she is pure and silent So crawl back into the womb Pre-mortal emancipation The scars ripped across her neck Mimic the holes of trephination, throw her back The words were draped in broken embers Regret is all that I have I need you to paint this portrait in my mind To take away my pain Take away my pain
