lyrics

And I hope that the pieces of my heart,
My fractured heart that you broke,
I hope you can pick them up,
And through this death fix your own.

I no longer find any peace in my dreams,
My head just twists itself into an angry knot,
Tell me the rainbow ends somehow,
Tell me I can break free of this cot.

I make dead men cry,
I make dead men cry,
I make dead men cry,
From their embalmed eyes.

And I scream where are you,
The teachers never there for the test,
And these phantoms,
One day will leave my chest.

I'm a cornered reindeer,
My eyes reflect one thousand hunters,
My mouth foamy and my teeth sharp,
Ensnared in darkness I will suffer.

I make dead men cry,
I make dead men cry,
I make dead men cry,
From their embalmed eyes.

Verklempt and burdened with misery,
With misunderstanding and with strife,
It makes me laugh from time to time,
This hoyden's beggared life.

And will the wrath of God move through me,
Like tonight I'm Isaiah's unnamed prophetess,
A hundred and eighty five thousand men,
Dead at the foot of my dress.

I feel tonight could be the start,Of everything,
I think in my future brighter days lie,
I think I will love you till,
The longing end of time,

So hold me in your blazonry and tell me not to cry.

Weaponise libel all you can I won't yield,
This barbarism won't last I know,
And though I lie awake terrified sometimes,
His divine anger will show.

And shall I speek of unclean lips,
When you hold me down,
When you hold me down,
When you hold me down.

I feel tonight could be the start,
Of everything,
I think in my future brighter days lie,
I think I will love you till,
The longing end of time.
