Paroles de Ceremony
So thoroughly convinced that the product of persistenceWas a love that I’d been told of when I was just a kid
I was wed to my misery in the hope that at the ceremony
You’d interject, but you never did
Now seven years on, bitter and resentful
I still contemplate what I did to deserve
The glimpses of affection you used to distract me
As you were filing my teeth to the nerve
I know you were the death of me, but still in spite of everything
I hope that you are finding sleep while I still lay awake
Although my throat is burning now, it’s still so quiet in the house
The emptiness you occupied is more than I can take
Tell me, are you ashamed?
Cause I felt alone and you watched as I decayed
I slipped through your hands as I faded
I’ve tried to forget
But your love will make a museum of me yet
I hope you know how long I’ve waited
Though reservoirs of self-disgust have swollen up inside my lungs
Pulmonary Oedema is no substitute for love that once lay its head upon my chest
A comfort cradled motionless, but I have come undone
My love is not enough
I know it’s hard to watch your light fade from my eyes, but darling for my sake you’ve got to let it die Cause I felt alone and you watched as I decayed
I slipped through your hands as I faded
I’ve tried to forget
But your love will make a museum of me yet
I hope you know how long I’ve waited
As you were filing my teeth to the nerve
I know you were the death of me, but still in spite of everything
I hope that you are finding sleep while I still lay awake
Although my throat is burning now, it’s still so quiet in the house
The emptiness you occupied is more than I can take
Tell me, are you ashamed?
Cause I felt alone and you watched as I decayed
I slipped through your hands as I faded
I’ve tried to forget
But your love will make a museum of me yet
I hope you know how long I’ve waited
Though reservoirs of self-disgust have swollen up inside my lungs
Pulmonary Oedema is no substitute for love that once lay its head upon my chest
A comfort cradled motionless, but I have come undone
My love is not enough
I know it’s hard to watch your light fade from my eyes, but darling for my sake you’ve got to let it die Cause I felt alone and you watched as I decayed
I slipped through your hands as I faded
I’ve tried to forget
But your love will make a museum of me yet
I hope you know how long I’ve waited
