Removal of the eyes
Gives my heart a sudden chill
I preserve them in formaldehyde
To gaze upon at will
How their greenish flecks befell me
That starlit winter's night
I lost all that I ever was
While locked within their sight
Before you sits a broken man
Your fragile pinkish heart in hand
Peculiar how it can hurt so bad
While love is only in the mind
I sew the gaping chest wound
Each thread is made with love
The bosom where I would rest my face
Is covered in your blood
No
This is not the end
You'll live on eternally
Oh
Lord, it's not the end
My secret you'll forever be
I interrupt this transformation
A familiar lust swelling in me
A long and soulful kiss
The shades are drawn
The living world can't see the coil of entrails
How curious the smell so pungent to my eager nostrils
Hands further compelled
Oh
No, it's not the end
Forever you'll be in my arms
I could never let you go
My darling cold and blue
I wonder, are you dreaming still
Spread eagle, blood removed
I weave the sucking trocar
Beneath your bruising skin
Tonight I'll lay beside you, darling, in necromantic sin
Pinned to the bed sheets
Lke a prized butterfly
You're mine
I hear your voice so precious
Echoing deeply inside
I did my best to love you
While you did live and breathe
This tender taxidermy
Token of the bereaved
I could never let you go
My darling cold and blue
I wonder, are you dreaming still
Spread eagle, blood removed
I weave the sucking trocar
Beneath your bruising skin
Tonight I'll lay beside you, darling
In necromantic sin
