the necropolis of former lovers

we walked together through a garden everyday, it seemed a place of peace, it did for me anyway, but you saw tigers lurking just beyond the fences, and tear up those paper cats, they're nothing more than your defenses, you kick the crosses of my exes everyday, it never made you seem better than them in anyway, you read between the lines of epitaphs on graves, even in bed you raise the dead to speak their names, don't wake the beast while she's asleep, don't dig for demons underneath, in this necropolis where former lovers lay, don't try so hard to dig that hole for your own grave, you kick the crosses of my exes everyday, it never made you seem better than her in anyway, you read between the lines of epitaphs on graves, even in bed you raise the dead to speak her name, i could have walked beside you endlessly, but i grew weary of the shallow graves you led me to, it's nothing short of a tragedy, you finally made me sad enough to write that song about you, i could have walked beside you endlessly, but i grew weary of the shallow graves you led me to, it's nothing short of a tragedy, you finally made me sad enough to write that song about you, you finally made me sad enough to write that song about you, you finally made me mad enough to write that song about you
