Lacrimosa

[Cerise]

So I have this dress

Taking up space where the pretty things lie

 

Mary Maggie where'd you get

That perfect shade of red

 

And as for Our Lady

I can still see Our Lady

I can still see My Lady

I can still see

Such a perfect shade of red

 

Monsieur Garou

Shouldn't have opened that door

(those lips on my skin)

 

Hush, he said, hush but

I hadn't said a word

 

Sharpness inside and your fingers stained

That perfect shade of red

 

Hush, he said, hush but

I was already silent

 

And Monsieur Garou

Who taught you to smile

Who taught you to take so much

Who taught you to make such a mess

Of my insides

With your perfect shade of red

 

Hush, baby, hush but

It wasn't a lullaby

 

Goodbye Our Lady

Good bye Monsieur

Shouldn't open that door

When the wolves are out

 

I have this dress

It's the perfect shade of red

And I buried it where the pretty things lie

 

And all the perfumes of Araby

Couldn't sweeten that hand

Where you stained yourself

That perfect shade of red
