After Therapy - Bloody Valentine lyrics

The faintest of tiny heartbeats Slips from darkness into the light The smallest of tiny beings Begins the voyage known as life The empty pages start to fill With tragedy that's long unfolding The smallest of tiny hopes To escape a life of pain The faintest of tiny heartbeats Will grow to be a man The largest of all the minds Will try like hell to understand The filling pages start to bleed With tragedy that's being lived The smallest of tiny hopes A struggle to forgive Born into a world of seething anger unrelenting Innocence soon be replaced by a plethora of lies Raving mad confusion-so patiently it bides its time Waiting its descent into the soul of this lost child Mother's arms await-but they're a bitter sanctuary The beating of her heart-a ticking time bomb burns its fuse The vicious undertow resurfaces with no fair warning Inflicting self-made agony in the cycle of abuse Misfortune to be nurtured by a who*e Perhaps you'll be as lucky as the one who came before Cruel and bitter fate-a valentine that's inked in sorrow What could lie ahead-perhaps its best that you can't see Just rest easy now and brace yourself for what is looming Innocence soon be replaced by bitter agony
