Shroud me in satin
Cover me in dirt
The grave swallows me
Promises of eternal memory
Buried deep in the cold, cold earth
Shroud me in flowers
Cover me in earth
The grave swallows me
Empty words of false piety
Buried deep in the cold, cold earth
Why has it been so long
Since you said that you loved me?
Why has it been so long
Since you put your arms around me?
Why has it been so long
Since I felt loved?
Hollow words for an empty body
Tears dripping over my head…
Shroud me in flowers
Cover me in earth
The grave swallows me
Empty words of your piety
Buried deep in the cold, cold earth
My soul flies away…
"I'll shelter you with a long lost peace
A kind heart in a fragile soul
The kindest thing is to let you go
But it's this that bores the hole inside
How brave do I feel now
Laying with you in the failing light?
How can I see your face
Reflected in the shards of your shattered life?"
How long has it been
Since you felt loved?
