If only you could see you're the only girl I've ever dreamed of
If only you could see...

Should I apologize to such pathetic eyes?
Just the sight of you has made me sick 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 take a walk with me?
We can count the stars and disappear...
I wish you could see you're the only girl I've ever dreamed of...
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 could fall asleep alone
What else can I do? Are you satisfied?
The nightmare's coming true... Are you satisfied?
It was all for you... Are you satisfied?
I did it all for you... Are you satisfied?

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

"The depth of a man’s soul cannot be measured in a manner of meters and fathoms, but rather it is in my opinion only quantified by his proximity to heaven and hell. I was in such a state that I ushered myself past the town tavern, bursting at the seams with the sound of laughter and drunken piano playing. Had it only been a different night, a different place, or a different kind of man passing by the threshold of that innocent pub, the events that transpired at that point would have undoubtedly been drastically different. I could only guess if anyone outside that place had a clue, when those exclamations of mirth became the desperate screams of the helpless, begging for their very lives."

    My Opinion:I'm not usually a fan of... "emotional" alternative rock, but I have to say that since my friend recommended this and lent me the CD, I have to say I'm a fan. I never thought this genre would be so insightful. Meaningful maybe, but not insightful. I've been proven wrong by this album. Even the screaming is made tolerable by pleasant melodies.

    General Comment:"In an abashed state of mind, the Artist begins to blame Annabel for what he has obviously done to her: his depression and paranoia have turned to rage. He moves as quickly as his feet will carry him toward the center of town. Not only is he running from the grisly murder scene, but he's running from the ringing of Annabel's voice in his head. It's as if her spirit is chasing him, torturing what little sanity he has left. He cannot look her in the eyes, he knows it will weaken his anger and he simply cannot allow that to happen. Not now. The Artist begs and pleads with her to leave him be as he sprints toward the town, his intentions still unknown even in his own mind. There's one crippling thought that the Artist cannot seem to escape even in madness: Annabel is the only girl he has ever loved." -Alesana
