Ceremony |
So thoroughly convinced that the product of persistence |
Was a love that I’d been told of when I was just a kid |
I was wed to my misery in the hope that at the ceremony |
You’d interject, but you never did |
Now seven years on, bitter and resentful |
I still contemplate what I did to deserve |
The glimpses of affection you used to distract me |
As you were filing my teeth to the nerve |
I know you were the death of me, but still in spite of everything |
I hope that you are finding sleep while I still lay awake |
Although my throat is burning now, it’s still so quiet in the house |
The emptiness you occupied is more than I can take |
Tell me, are you ashamed? |
'Cause I felt alone and you watched as I decayed |
I slipped through your hands as I faded |
I’ve tried to forget |
But your love will make a museum of me yet |
I hope you know how long I’ve waited |
Though reservoirs of self-disgust have swollen up inside my lungs |
Pulmonary Oedema is no substitute for love that once lay its head upon my chest |
A comfort cradled motionless, but I have come undone |
My love is not enough |
I know it’s hard to watch your light fade from my eyes, but darling for my sake |
you’ve got to let it die |
My weathered hands have dug this grave enough |
It’s time for us to bury our love |
Tell me, are you ashamed? |
'Cause I felt alone and you watched as I decayed |
I slipped through your hands as I faded |
I’ve tried to forget |
But your love will make a museum of me yet |
I hope you know how long I’ve waited |
