As you die
I stain my body with your blood
As you die
Your tears become mine
As you die
I breathe your life
As I say goodbye to your flesh and hello to your skeleton
I won't let go
So they bury me with you
And I dig our way out of the dirt and mud and maggots
And hold your bones as we breathe life into our bodies
With each breath we take as one, you pulsate back to life as I shrivel away
I will give half my life to stay with you
I will glue your locket of hair to your skull so you feel pretty
I will shed my skin and give it to you
And as I die
I will be happy
