Cover Me With Roses Lyrics

You take the breath from me

And pass it through the wild abyss


You tether love to therapy


One last chemical kiss


Before the bleeding


Kiss before the bleeding

You put me on the rack

Of futures I have lived before

You suture me to fill the cracks

Between the ash and the apple core

Of Eden

The apple core of Eden

And I'm heavy with this longing

And I'm breaking from these chains

And my memory is crawling

With an aching for the pain

Can you please kiss me once again

Can you please kiss me once again

First you build the bonfire

Then you cover me with roses

You cover me with roses

And I'm still breathing in my grave

First you build the bonfire

Then you cover me with roses

You cover me with roses

And the sweet taste of decay

You blind the universe

With sleight of heart and fuck-me eyes

You bind me in a bruising curse

To light my lips to smile

When I'm still grieving

Smiling when I'm grieving

And I'm heavy with this longing

And I'm breaking from these chains

And my memory is crawling

With an aching for the pain

Can you please kiss me once again

Can you please kiss me once again

First you build the bonfire

Then you cover me with roses

You cover me with roses

And I can't turn my face away

First you build the bonfire

Then you cover me with roses

You cover me with roses

And the sweet taste of decay
