letra de euthanasia - ace of thorns

i woke up in a room drowned in crimson hue
a hallway laid before me, and so i followed its cue
my head felt oddly clear, a calm i’d not known for so long
then, from the depths of the corridor, i began to hear a song

will you eat the fruit that you planted?
or run away, again, from the garden, and recant it
you can only hide away for so long
before you starve, child, you’d best come along

on the walls hung my memories, pictured and framed
my best moments scarce, all else exposed shame
i saw l-st, i saw love, i saw hope through my years
turn to compulsion, arrogance, paranoia built on fear
i could not tell just what had made me afraid
but i felt its presence pushing me deeper, and there was no other way
and the voices growing clearer, began to chant, irate
h-llish as inferno, clear as heaven’s gates

will you eat the fruit that you planted?
or run away, again, from the garden, and recant it
you can only hide away for so long
before you starve, child, you’d best come along

at the end of the corridor laid the door to a room
it was staring down at me, bloodred as my wounds
overhead and ahead i could tell my judgement loomed
so i sighed, grabbed the handle, and opened the tomb
the singing suddenly halted, as i made out the scene
a dining table, set for six, although the room had no one to be seen
so i sat down, in the spot that bore my name
i tried to p-rs- out the others, before one by one they came
i saw loved ones, lost and estranged, and those who still remained
now there were four seated ‘round me, as the door was sealed with a bang

the guests spoke of one subject, that being my fate
my life, my death, and the effects left in its wake
i tried to reply, but in response i was shocked
the collar round my neck remained completely locked

once the conversation ended, at the door was a knock
the four guests dissipated, scurried out in a flock
and in came the spectre that had haunted me for so long
it was her, the one who may have loved me, although not for long

…

she sat before me, and leaned in, clipping a leash to my collar
she leaned back, pulling me with her, forcing me close to listen
silence hung in the air for what felt like years
and then, she spoke

“i want to let you know
and this is truth, not hope
despite everything you say about you
none of it is true
you’re worth love
you’re worth time
they know it’s true
it’s why they stick through the climb
i don’t know why i did what i did to you
and neither will you
but don’t let it k!ll you
and in all that you do
i want you to know
you’re worth love, azalea
you know that
don’t forget it
take care”
the girl let go of my leash, as i then tumbled back
she calmly made made an exit, fading into the black

…

and for the first time in years, i cried
