I like to keep you safe with me with a heart shaped locket
I place a picture of you inside and keep all your secrets in my pockets
I didn't know what I was thinking back when I found you at the cemetery
But I picked you up and raised you as my own - then one day I fell in love with you
So i take you down to the morgue where every silent angel sleeps
As demons scurry to her bones, and spiders waltz, and hang to creep
I take you in, i hold you tight
I tuck you in your death bed
Watch your eyes roll to the back of your head
And no one knows that you're already dead
With blood and wounds, and salted lips
Press your hands to my fingertips
I count your cuts, and healing slits
I kiss your wounds until i get sick
Hush your final words and let it rest
But no one knows you're already dead
I wish I never found you back at the cemetery
Cause your love was poison and it eventually scathed me
But I love you so, you're my husband, oh
And i will surpass this ghost to go somewhere where the glass flowers grow
There is a lamb in my heart and it cries for the sake of your wake
How I love you even after death
I'll always love you without a breath
Someday, your skin will deteriorate
And all of the blood and all of your bones will create
A beautiful rose, and, flowers to grow
And you used to say
You hated roses and beautiful things
But even beautiful things can birth from something ugly
