Murder Song (Version Two) Lyrics

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 forth

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

Room 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
