Murder Song
Lullaby and goodnight
With roses bed light
Creep into thy bed
There pillow, lay thy head
If God will
Thou shalt wake
When morning doth break
Creeping through your room
Brushing through your hair
Skim across the floor
Tread light over dust
Tower over your bed
Watch you toss and turn
Counting each breath
Eyes darting back and fourth
Cut you into thirds
Bury the teeth
Stiff as a board
White as a sheet
Clean the bone
Keep the meat
Never again do I have to hear you speak
Get you when you're sleeping
Throw away the bones
Take them while they're weeping
Weigh them down with stones
Get you when you're sleeping
Throw away the bones
Take them while they're weeping
Weigh them down with stones
Whole room soaked in red
Unlit sky
Skin turned dark
Plucked out your eye
Slept with it open
Did as I asked
Still didn't see me coming
Left your window cracked
Do you have pretty insides
Do you have pretty insides
Let me see them, wet and red
Scattered all over your bed
Let me see them, open wide
Digging through your insides
Keep you safe under my nails
Until you begin to smell
Get you when you're sleeping
Throw away the bones
Take them while they're weeping
Weigh them down with stones
Get you when you're sleeping
Throw away the bones
Take them while they're weeping
Weigh them down with stones
Get you when you're sleeping
Throw away the bones
Take them while they're weeping
Weigh them down with stones
With roses bed light
Creep into thy bed
There pillow, lay thy head
If God will
Thou shalt wake
When morning doth break
Creeping through your room
Brushing through your hair
Skim across the floor
Tread light over dust
Tower over your bed
Watch you toss and turn
Counting each breath
Eyes darting back and fourth
Cut you into thirds
Bury the teeth
Stiff as a board
White as a sheet
Clean the bone
Keep the meat
Never again do I have to hear you speak
Get you when you're sleeping
Throw away the bones
Take them while they're weeping
Weigh them down with stones
Get you when you're sleeping
Throw away the bones
Take them while they're weeping
Weigh them down with stones
Whole room soaked in red
Unlit sky
Skin turned dark
Plucked out your eye
Slept with it open
Did as I asked
Still didn't see me coming
Left your window cracked
Do you have pretty insides
Do you have pretty insides
Let me see them, wet and red
Scattered all over your bed
Let me see them, open wide
Digging through your insides
Keep you safe under my nails
Until you begin to smell
Get you when you're sleeping
Throw away the bones
Take them while they're weeping
Weigh them down with stones
Get you when you're sleeping
Throw away the bones
Take them while they're weeping
Weigh them down with stones
Get you when you're sleeping
Throw away the bones
Take them while they're weeping
Weigh them down with stones
