We walked through the doorway
Heard you calling from the hall
To find you in the bedroom
Not breathing at all
I drug your body to the cellar where we lay
The wax, it melts away
I kiss your face.
Now we are starting to love you more
Your body's on the canvas
I painted on the floor
Now you wait like the drug, like the change
And the pain it goes on for so long
And oh, how it hurts in the worst way now that you're gone
It's so wrong
It's so wrong.
If I could take you somewhere
I'd take you to the darkest place
Scatter you in art forms
Admire the whore
Beauty in different ways
Your hands on picture frames
Your eyes in the glass
Wear your face has a mask
Now they are starting to love you more
A gallery of your beauty
No charge at the door
As you wait like the drug, like the change
And the pain it goes on for so long
And oh, how it hurts in the worst way now that you're gone
It's so wrong
It's so wrong
And down below
Your veins run dry your vacant eyes
I lost control
Your face is pale, your body's cold
And down below your veins run dry your vacant eyes
I lost control
Your face is pale, your body's cold (Your face is pale, your body's cold)
Wait, like the drug, like the change
And the pain it goes on for so long
And oh, how it hurts in the worst way now that you're gone
It's so wrong [x10]
Heard you calling from the hall
To find you in the bedroom
Not breathing at all
I drug your body to the cellar where we lay
The wax, it melts away
I kiss your face.
Now we are starting to love you more
Your body's on the canvas
I painted on the floor
Now you wait like the drug, like the change
And the pain it goes on for so long
And oh, how it hurts in the worst way now that you're gone
It's so wrong
It's so wrong.
If I could take you somewhere
I'd take you to the darkest place
Scatter you in art forms
Admire the whore
Beauty in different ways
Your hands on picture frames
Your eyes in the glass
Wear your face has a mask
Now they are starting to love you more
A gallery of your beauty
No charge at the door
As you wait like the drug, like the change
And the pain it goes on for so long
And oh, how it hurts in the worst way now that you're gone
It's so wrong
It's so wrong
And down below
Your veins run dry your vacant eyes
I lost control
Your face is pale, your body's cold
And down below your veins run dry your vacant eyes
I lost control
Your face is pale, your body's cold (Your face is pale, your body's cold)
Wait, like the drug, like the change
And the pain it goes on for so long
And oh, how it hurts in the worst way now that you're gone
It's so wrong [x10]

the first verse notes they are approaching the hallway
addiction calls out.
As he enters his room he finds "her (heroin, most cultures refer to heroin as her)
as he takes her to the cellar where he usually has a hit and lays down
he uses a candle to mix in the heroin in with a spoon and flame
He is starting to like the addiction more.
When he has finished his taste he then squirts out the blood from the syringe on the floor.
as if he is painting a canvas.
Chorus:
this is about withdrawal.
as he waits, the drug wears down, changes from euphoric to pain,
hanging out hurts, now that the heroin is gone, they pain is building
and it goes on and on.
He knows that its wrong. but the pain is too much.
Verse 2:
If he could take it somewhere, he would go to the darkest place
squirting his canvas of blood everywhere, memorized by it all
admiring his art, as his blood touches everything
gazing through it through the glass of the syringe, the cap of the syringe as a mask
Now everyone fiends for her(oin)
loving her more.
a shooting gallery of all the beauty, there is no charge at this art door
Chorus
withdrawal.
Breakdown:
He looks down to realize his veins have run dry, the vacant look in your eyes as he is high
he has lost control, look of heroin is pale and body is cold.
repeats and ends
etc
Very deep metaphors and well written. Would only get to a person that really knows this life. very sad song.
"we walked through the door way heard you calling from the hall to find you in the bedroom not breathing at all"
*refers to how the main characture [forget her name] was always trying to escape before her funeral . And people even began to wonder if she was really dead then when they would come to see her dead body before the funeral [like her mom]they saw she was dead.
"Now you wait, like the drug, like the change and the pain it goes on for so long"
*refering to how when ever anyone tried to visit her the funeral home owner shot the drug into her to make her musclues relax and to seem as if she was dead.

"I lost control"
*refers to her boyfriend and how they got in a fight and he feels really abd about it
"a gallery of your beauty, not charge at the door"
* refering to her funeral
Heard you calling from the hall
To find you in the bedroom
Not breathing at all
I drug your body to the cellar where we lay
The wax, it melts away
I kiss your face.
(He/People walk in to hear a loved one screaming in pain from the call, when they rush to find her/rescue her. When they get there, the loved one - possibly a girlfriend, is lying dead, not breathing, on the bedroom floor. He drags her body to the cellar, where they now lay - where he is singing this song. The wax, it melts away, refers to the wax of the candles melting away, he then kisses her face.)
Your body's on the canvas
I painted on the floor
Now you wait like the drug, like the change
And the pain it goes on for so long
And oh, how it hurts in the worst way now that you're gone
It's so wrong
It's so wrong.
(He reefers waiting for her coming alive is like waiting for drugs to come and take the pain away. He explains how much the pain hurts, then explains how it was wrong for her to die.)
Love the song <3
