Her Portrait In Black

[Intro: Alex Varkatzas]

Hold your breath quiet now don't say a word

You could run (but) it won't do any good

Prayers forsaken when you lose faith inside

It's not time to die

[Verse 1: Alex Varkatzas]

Your life

Is it a lie?

When you get what you're looking for

Your cravings subside

Or will you crawl into

An open casket or your early tomb?

Lay down and give up inside

She'd rather die

[Verse 2: Alex Varkatzas]

When you fall

So spent from emotion

She is what

Brings you to your feet

Where challenges lie

On the verge of destruction

She pulls you back

And she gives you wings

[Pre-Chorus: Marc McKnight]

Death won't hold you as tight as she will

[Chorus: Brandon Saller, Alex Varkatzas, Marc McKnight]

Can you feel her burning through your veins?

She will always live forever

(Can you bear the burn?)

Can you feel her burning through your veins?

She will always live forever

(Can you bear the burn?)

[Verse 3: Alex Varkatzas, Marc McKnight, both]

You'll turn your back, you'll patronize

She's bleeding

You will question your every want

She's bleeding out

She's bleeding out

She's bleeding out

[Pre-Chorus: Marc McKnight]

Death won't hold you as tight as she will

[Chorus: Brandon Saller, Alex Varkatzas]

Can you feel her burning through your veins?

She will always live forever

(Can you bear the burn?)

Can you feel her burning through your veins?

She will always live forever

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge: Alex Varkatzas]

She's bleeding out

She's bleeding out

She's bleeding out

Hhh, hhh

Hhh, hhh

Hhh, hhh...

[Pre-Chorus: Marc McKnight]

Death won't hold you as tight as she will

[Chorus: Brandon Saller, Alex Varkatzas]

Can you feel her burning through your veins?

She will always live forever

(Can you bear the burn?)

Can you feel her burning through your veins?

She will always live forever

(Can you bear the burn?)

[Outro]

Can you feel her burning through your veins?

She will always live forever
