Room of Regret

Story Behind The Song

I wanted to write a ballad style song with a slightly bent tone. A little off and somewhat uncomfortable sounding at times.

Lyrics

Room of Regret:
Copyright 2006 Enzo Sprigg Music. Inc.

Verse1:
She said my moods always change,
And that they?ve pushed her away,
As I?m strangled by the words to make her stay,

She had hands like two open flames,
And I?m burned again,
As she touches my face as she walks away,

All in slow motion,
All I?ve really had to loose,
All I?ll ever need, leaves behind the door,

All that?s come between us,
All I can?t seem to change,
And all over the room,
The corners start closing in,

Verse2:
She bathed me in red and teal blue,
With bloodshot eyes from the night before,
And held me even as I split in two,
She gave me just one more glance, before she closed the door,

All in slow motion,
All I?ve really had to loose,
All I?ll ever need walked away,

All that?s come between us,
All I can?t seem to change,
All over the floor,
Are pieces you left behind,

Chorus:
In the stillness of my room,
How the walls remember you,
Shadows of your face in a memory sustain,
And my regret, you?ll find there too,

Verse3:
Like some beautiful moth,
With her wings on fire,
As she lit up the hallway,
No memory wasted, but everything gone,

Now I descend,
Into someplace dark,
A taste in my mouth,
For everything that went wrong,

All in slow motion,
All I?ve ever had to loose,
All I?ll ever needed walked away,

All that?s come between us,
All I can?t seem to change,
All hanging all over the walls,
Are traces of all I?ve lost!

Chorus:
In the stillness of my room,
How the walls remember you,
Shadows of your face in a memory sustain,
And my regret, you?ll find there too,

I?ll force myself to forget you,
I?ll break everything if I have to,
And cut myself to feel something new,
And not all the regret that?s in this room,

I think I?ve made a breakthrough,
to erase every trace and though of you,
I?d never put you through what I?ve been through,
I?d only live to regret that too,
