Cauterize

Beautiful in the dress I laid out for you
Let your hair down the way you always used to
The tile is cold, the tap is dripping
As I go to rinse my hands of you
And watch the pieces one by one
Wash away down the drain
I'll fake this mourning at your funeral
Dressed in black and trying not to laugh
Sleep tight my dear,
This will be your last night here
Breathing among the living
I've got some plans for you
Sweet dreams my love
It will all be over soon
We're just waiting for the poison
In your blood to reach your heart
So cold and pale laid out before me
So weak and frail, quiet as can be
Peacefully sleeping for all eternity,
No one will ever suspect me
Fingerprints and DNA won't give me away
I'll fake this mourning at your funeral
Dressed in black and trying not to laugh
Sleep tight my dear,
This will be your last night here
Breathing among the living
I've got some plans for you
Sweet dreams my love
It will all be over soon
We're just waiting for the poison
In your blood to reach your heart
I brought your favourite flowers
Your mother said you would have loved them
I'll read your favourite poem out loud
And I'll break down
I'll break down
You said that I don't feel
And that's why you could not live with me
I don't feel the least bit sad right now
How's that for irony?
I'll fake this mourning at your funeral
Dressed in black and trying not to laugh
I can't help but laugh.
Sleep tight my dear,
This will be your last night here
Breathing among the living
I've got some plans for you
Sweet dreams my love
It will all be over soon
We're just waiting for the poison
In your blood to reach your heart
