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?
