Emilie Autumn - The Art Of Suicide 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
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
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 anymore
The world is full of singers
We don't need anymore
The world is full of lovers
We don't need anymore

The art of suicide, nightgowns and hair
Curls flying every which way
The fate to 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 lie
Why live a lie
The art of suicide, gritty and clean
Conveys a theatrical scene
Alas, 'I've gone' she cried
Veins 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

Does anyone know if she still makes any music or was it just a one time thing? I remember listening to this with my brother all the time and ended up buying the CD
Emilie has been working on a musical theater (broadway?) kind of project, it may be tied into a 3rd album but I'm not sure. Took some time to work on her book and other non-musical projects in the meantime. There's a 3rd album between Opheliac and today called "Fight Like A Girl", you've got to hear it if you haven't!
this song this voice♥️✨
A soundtrack to slit your wrists to
Ok. I'm kidding.
🔪🔪🔪😔
I'm sad now because this is my life😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😢😢😢😔😔😔😔😔😭
I can imagine a collaboration with cellist and singer Kanon Wakeshima. Her music style is very similar! I love you both 😇
This song has gotten me through me many tough nights
If you change your profile picture maybe you'll stand for a few years more
Such a powerful and deeply emotional song. It touches the very core of my being in a way i'm not sure i'm comfortable with.
