lyrics

This time the verdict's from your mouth.
This time you'll meet somebody new.
This time you'll get to know to feel her
And keep the garden in full bloom.

But she's not dancing anymore.
She's just lying on the floor.

The red-breast scarf around her throat,
The scent of duct tape and warm tears.
Now look at all the time that you have left to fill her
With painted whispers, shades of fear.

Her skin's not moving anymore
With so much blood across the floor.

"She's brighter today, bright as whispers..."

(Just close your eyes
One last time.)

Go to sleep, just go to sleep,
Don't wait for me, just pray for me.

Asleep, no more dreams, just underneath.
No more questions, no more screams.
Bless all your deeds, and transform me.

Sleep, you're so pacifist,
I don't wanna be pissed off anyway.
A bright-eyed masochist, I'm innocent,
I don't want your blush and kiss.
Sleep, I don't want it,
I don't want it, I don't care about it.

Nothing left to prove, nowhere else to go
Nothing better, god, soon I'll let you go.
Serendipity, all you're left to know;
Soon I'll let you go, soon I'll let you go.
