The Coward

Album: Alesana - The Lost Chapters Durasi: 3:42

I found him lying there on the floor

He did not breathe

Looked around but to my chagrin

I was surrounded

By a scene of morbid despair (suffering souls)

And I waited for the knife to find me

But luckily I was alone

Escape, pretend you were never here

I run, make sure there's no one around

Don't make a sound

I beg my body to stay off of the ground

Oh, do you realize just what you've done

Oh, I knew

Will I ever mention her name

I am a coward but I'm alive

I am so sorry I'm still alive

So I go back

I taste the horror

I stare blankly, don't know where to begin

The smell consumes me

One by one I cover them all (say my goodbyes)

Then I slowly find my way into the night

Only this time I'm not alone

You had your chance but it's over now

I run, make sure there's no one around

Don't make a sound

I beg my body to stay off of the ground

Oh, do you realize just what you've done

Oh, I knew

Will I ever mention her name

I am a coward but I'm alive

I am so sorry I'm still alive

I'm begging you please let me go

I'll pretend I did not see a thing

Rip out my tongue, yea

Let me go

And I'll tell them you were never here

I'll swear to them that it was me

I run, make sure there's no one around

Don't make a sound

I beg my body to stay off of the ground

Oh, do you realize just what you've done

Oh, I knew

Will I ever mention her name

I am a coward but I'm alive

I am so sorry I'm still alive

I am a bastard but I'm alive

I'm so sorry for what I've done
