LYRICS
And I will awake
Your highness I'm so high 
I cannot walk
And I will awake
You cripple you take away
My time my peace my empathy
No babies sleep on atrophy
Your unborn love and fetal dress
Hard, bitter candy, legless caress

What was she for Halloween?
The ugliest girl you ever seen
Someday she will die alone
Someday she won't have to fake it
When living with it-self seemed sacred
Someday she will die alone

He seemed to me to know
All that glitter turned to sour
All that lied in his face
Jesus saves
Old age
Old age
Old age
It's ok to kill your idols
Just pretend you have no rivals
They all think that she is headless
Spits at music, it's not an issue
Just remove this able tissue
They all think that 
We were friendless

He seemed to know me to know
All the glitter turned sour
All the lied in my face
Jesus saves
Old age
Old age
Old age

And I begged him
I said pretty please
Just make me pure again
Just make me clean
What was she for Halloween?
The ugliest girl you've ever seen
Someday she will die for no one
And what was she for Valentine's?
An old forgotten concubine
Someday she will die alone

He seemed to me to know
All the glitter turned sour
All that lied in his face
Jesus saves
Old age
Old age
Old age

(Rest in me and)
I'm sorry
(Peace in piece)
So sorry
(Rest in peace and)
I'm sorry
(Peace in pieces)
So sorry
