The next few years were spent working on the follow-up to BiB which was to be called The Truth About You. But changes at their label left the band with no support and few options. Under the circumstances the band members decided to go their separate ways.
Bloodstained
Injected Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Remind me what this life is all about
Because I haven't felt pain in so long I forgot I was alive
Sure in this life, the ironies can turn so cruel
Right now I'm at a loss to find one to match you
Would you forgive me I'm gifted with this poison pen
Silently, lividly waiting, for the ever end
The sting from your faithless kiss
Still rings on my bloodless lips
If at any other time a love call you mine,
Come around and find some time
Sure in this life the ironies can turn so true
But the sin beneath my skin means
It's more than likely not me but you
You
Would you forgive me I'm gifted with this poison pen?
Silently, lividly waiting, for the ever end
Now won't you forgive me I'm gifted with this poison pen?
Silently, lividly waiting, for the ever end
Now won't you forgive me I'm gifted with this poison pen?
Silently, lividly waiting, for the ever end
Won't you forgive me?
Won't you forgive me?
Won't you forgive me?
Won't you forgive me?
Poison pen lividly
Faithless kiss still rings on my bloodless lips
Poison pen lividly
Faithless kiss still rings on my bloodless lips
Poison pen lividly
Faithless kiss still rings on my bloodless lips
Poison pen lividly
Faithless kiss still rings on my bloodless lips
Won't you forgive me I'm gifted with this poison pen?
Silently, lividly waiting, for the ever end
Won't you forgive me?
Could you forgive me?
