lyrics

There are faces in the lake
There are voices in the cemetery
Calling me to be together
Following my sleep forever
Calling me
There’s the one that makes me shake
There are legs inside the dead black cherry tree
That swim and flee together
Following my sleep forever
Calling me
I can hear you croon
Melodies as enchanting as your open eyes
Only heard amplified under the moon
Oh, it’s killing me tonight
Hearts will call
My body crawls
I’ve heard and now must see
You are absolutely the sweetest thing to me
Songs enthrall when night does fall
So solemnly I sing
You are absolutely the sweetest thing to me
There’s a tongue as black as ice
Wrapping over me with warm devotion
Singing to me, “be my only,
Harmonize with me so closely”
Follow me
Swollen lips as blue as eyes
Knotted hair that binds my every motion
Out of breath, my words are muffled
Take me please, I will not struggle
Swallow me
I’ll be with you soon
Creeping closer to do my part in our duet
The fog will disappear and so will you
Oh it’s killing me tonight
I was discovered the next morning, a pair of lungs inside a black jacket and blue jeans.
A crowd eventually surrounded the lake, appalled and struck with horror
Hands covering mouths they all cried out, “What has she done to him?”
You’re the sweetest thing to me
