Big Wave - Cover Me With Roses

You take the breath from me
And pass it through the wild abyss
You tether love to therapy
One last chemical kiss
Before the bleeding
Kiss before the bleeding

You put me on the rack
Of futures I have lived before
You suture me to fill the cracks
Between the ash and the apple core
Of Eden
The apple core of Eden

And I'm heavy with this longing
And I'm breaking from these chains
And my memory is crawling
With an aching for the pain
Can you please kiss me once again
Can you please kiss me once again

First you build the bonfire
Then you cover me with roses
You cover me with roses
And I'm still breathing in my grave

First you build the bonfire
Then you cover me with roses
You cover me with roses
And the sweet taste of decay

You blind the universe
With sleight of heart and fuck-me eyes
You bind me in a bruising curse
To light my lips to smile
When I'm still grieving
Smiling when I'm grieving

And I'm heavy with this longing
And I'm breaking from these chains
And my memory is crawling
With an aching for the pain
Can you please kiss me once again
Can you please kiss me once again

First you build the bonfire
Then you cover me with roses
You cover me with roses
And I can't turn my face away

First you build the bonfire
Then you cover me with roses
You cover me with roses
And the sweet taste of decay
