lyrics

This morning she awoke with a bag over her head,
and now her screams echo from my trunk.
I love you, she once claimed.
But now her lies are muffled, her cheating hands bound with tape.
Perfidy was once punishable by death.
Where has since gone the executioner?
I raise the knife, shouting fuck you for this plague.
She is beauty. She is death.
Her throat shall bleed tonight, a river of scarlet love.
Tonight she dies a lonely slut.
Spread your legs and fly like the whore butterfly that you are,
for, in my eyes, you no longer have wings.
You once were an angel in my heart, now a demon before my torn self.
Haunted by you I am with the closing of my eyes.
Remove these stones from my chest, this knot from my stomach.
Allow me to dream again, to wake again, without thoughts of you.
Release me from your webs of deceit and pledges of comfort.
Free me from this curse with your screams.
I once would have died for just one more tomorrow,
but now will kill for the promise of no more yesterdays.
I miss you and all that we had.
The smiles, the joy, the laughter: All of it was broken with the silencing of your voice.
I now appreciate my mortality, having looked for an end to this pain.
But more importantly, I wished only for you.
You have shunned me from your heart,
only for me to find its vacancy filled by another.
And it’s cold here in the dark. It's so cold in the dark.
Love is a hateful game.
Prepare and take your last breath.
Suffer the pain I have endured.
Veiled in blood, you will become my bride.
With him you have learned all the lessons I had hoped you would never learn.
Well tonight, my dear, I shall teach you your last.
I love you.
