Lay me down In your favorite dress Pin my hair Like I always asked Kiss my lips While the color drains Trace my skin Learning every vein Keep me when I’m cold and gray Hold me as I flake away Press my dust into your skin Let me sink Let me sink in Keep me when my bones have cracked Promise you won’t give me back Love me slow as I decay Hold on till there’s nothing left to take When the sweet Turns to copper taste When my scent Crawls around this place Button up Every torn seam split Wrap my rot In your favorite sins Keep me when I’m cold and gray Hold me as I flake away Press my dust into your skin Let me drown Let me drown in Keep me when my bones have cracked Promise you won’t give me back Love me slow as I decay Hold on till there’s nothing left to take Will you lick Every bruise gone black? Will you drink What the worms give back? Carve my name In your pallid chest Wear my grave Where your heart once slept Keep me when I’m cold and gray Hold me as I fade away Press my dust into your skin Let me stain Let me stain in Keep me when my bones have cracked Promise you won’t send me back Love me slow as I decay Hold on till there’s nothing left Nothing left But you and my remains
