lyrics

I thought I heard you screaming. I thought I heard you breathe again. Your eyes won’t ever be seen. Your beauty’s wasted on the dead. Their lifeless corpses buried under the ever-changing dirt. You’re staying above with me—if not in life, in death. You’ll see. I know you won’t believe, and that your eyes won’t see the hope and beauty our love could bring. I hope you know he’s a lie. I told you so many times you’re better off dead or loving me. I won’t let you cry. I won’t let you fear. I won’t let you run away. Even if you have to die, you will see that with time you are all mine. You are all mine. What can I say? I’m just a hopeless romantic. In life, your love is just too sporadic. The bond we share is quite simply fantastic. Maybe in death your love will be less erratic. Your empty body beckons. Your dead, cold fingers call my name. The scars and cuts you caused me will never be re-opened. Why did it take so long, dear, for you to finally see your breath had to leave before we could be? Your body lies upon those sheets, unknowing what love will soon meet. Lust guides with the glimmer of a knife. Soon to be mine—your love and your life. The white turns into red upon your neck and the bed. Nothing needs to be said before you join the dead. Before you say goodbye, just know I wanted it just like this. Your teeth clenched, your hands grasp tighter into the open air. What can I say? I’m just a hopeless romantic. In life, your love is just too sporadic. The bond we share is quite simply fantastic. Maybe in death your love will be less erratic. Your empty body beckons. Your dead, cold fingers call my name. The scars and cuts you caused me will never be re-opened. Why did it take so long, dear, for you to finally see your breath had to leave before we could be? (Don’t believe what they say. I’m okay.) Did you miss the question? Insurgent ignorance flood. Take one step towards the sun. Melt the wax inside your ears. O, Icarus, you ignorant child, kill your dreams now. I'll clip your wings before you learn how to fly. Did you miss the question? Don't fucking try to leave again
