Drowning Lessons

(album: I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love - 2002)

Without a sound, I took her down
And dressed in red and blue, I squeezed
Imaginary wedding gown
That you can't wear in front of me

A kiss goodbye, your twisted shell
As rice grains and roses fall at your feet
Let's say goodbye the hundredth time
And then tomorrow, we'll do it again

Tomorrow, we'll do it again

I dragged her down, I put her out
And back there, I left her where no one could see
And lifeless, cold into this well
I stared as this moment was held for me

A kiss goodbye, your twisted shell
As rice grains and roses fall at your feet
Let's say goodbye the hundredth time
And then tomorrow, we'll do it again

I never thought it'd be this way
Just me and you, we're here alone
And if you say, all I'm asking for is
A thousand bodies piled up
I never thought would be enough
To show you just what I've been thinking

And I'll keep on making more
Just to prove that I adore every inch of sanity
All I'm asking for is, all I'm asking for is
Come on!

These hands, stained red
From the times that I've killed you and then
We can wash down this engagement ring
With poison and kerosene
We'll laugh as we die
And we'll celebrate the end of things
With cheap champagne

Without, without a sound
Without, without a sound, and I wish you away
Without a sound, and I wish you away
Without a sound, without a sound, and I wish you away
Without a sound, without a sound, and I wish you away
Without a sound, without a sound, and I wish you away
