Melancholia Rändi Fay (BMI)/Aaron Zinsmeister (BMI) Swallowing the hurt behind my eyes, a charcoal tear slips free A trail of inky sorrow etches my cheek Hollow and afraid, I hide my cries, my heart a tarnished streak Fair warning to the weak Tick after tock, a faceless clock shouts ev’ry shame A tale of stark, indulgent sadness, I’m sinking into madness Don’t drown in the night, try to fight, the light shimmers far away While you wait for me, you won’t let me be I can’t hear you, but I can feel you call my name I can’t see you, but I can fear you just the same Melancholia - a curtain of black enveloped in blue Melancholia - deceptively sharp, the turn of a screw Manifesting the pain of obsession, loneliness enters on cue Melancholia - I am empty without you I wash down pills of promise, drink deep liquid lies A tiny dose of anesthesia served often always pleases Soak up the charade, passion fades, the day melting off like ice Vacant, dreamless sleep offers pale relief I can’t hear you, but I can feel you call my name I can’t see you, but I can fear you just the same Melancholia - a curtain of black enveloped in blue Melancholia - deceptively sharp, the turn of a screw Manifesting the pain of obsession, loneliness enters on cue Melancholia - I am empty without you Skies erupt with sapphire rays, the sun shines thunder, lighting sprays The only constant here is constant change You’ll drag me to the bitter end, but I don’t want to be condemned The price you ask is far too high for me to pay You’ll go away, I’ll be okay Melancholia… ahh… I’m enveloped in blue Melancholia… ahh… I feel the turn of the screw Manifesting my every obsession, you enter on cue Melancholia, I am so much more than you Melancholia, I am so much more than you
