Mortwenna Lioncourt - Funeral Flowers in the Morgue Lyrics

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
