Emilie Autumn - The art of suicide

"the art of suicide" by Emilie Autumn ♥
spread the plague! :)

lyrics:

The art of suicide
Nightgowns and hair
Curls flying every which where
The pain too pure to hide
Bridges of Sighs

Meant to conceal lover's lies
Under the arches
Of moonlight and sky
Suddenly easy
To contemplate why
Why...

Why live a life
That's painted with pity
And sadness
And strife
Why dream a dream
That's tainted with trouble
And less than it seems
Why bother bothering
Just for a poem
Or another sad song to sing
Why live a life
Why live a life

The art of suicide
Pretty and clean
Conveys a theatrical scene
"Alas, I'm gone!" she cried
Ankles displayed
Melodramatically laid
Under the arches
Of moonlight and sky
Suddenly easy
To contemplate why
Why...

Why live a life
That's painted with pity
And sadness
And strife
Why dream a dream
That's tainted with trouble
And less than it seems
Why bother bothering
Just for a poem
Or another sad song to sing
Why live a life
Why live a life

Life is not like Gloomy Sunday
With a second ending
When the people are disturbed
Well they should be disturbed
Because there's a story
That ought to be heard
Life is not like Gloomy Sunday
With a second ending
When the people are disturbed
Well they should be disturbed
Because there's a lesson
That really ought to be learned

The world is full of poets
We don't need any more
The world is full of singers
We don't need any more
The world is full of lovers
We don't need any more...

why not live a life

that's painted with pity

And sadness

And strife

why be nihilistic?

If you accept pain as part of life, you're not disappointed when it comes along. You'll know that it will go away, eventually, and better times will come along.

@cg78ithaca:The song is all sarcasm ;). But yeah I agree with you on that, sometimes it can be hard though.

I really love this song. It gives people a good look into the mind of a suicidal person. They've run out of answers to the questions she asks.

She is amazing. So deep and thoughtful. Her music makes me think about life, and understand so much. She is an angel.
