And every selfish act of love you bruised upon my skin will be the outline of my coffin They'll wrap my fragility in satin, anything to soften the fall They will burry me deep, with postmortem marks of your teeth My organs will be gone, dying out across your sheets, waving flags of defeat My blood will be on your hands and you won't care to wash it off You'll leave your handprints on my thighs and lick your fingers with pride You will watch as they lower me beneath the surface and smile wide *There is no greater revenge than staying alive*

Every Lie You Ever Told Will Be The Soundtrack to My Funeral
And every selfish act of love you bruised upon my skin will be the outline of my coffin They'll wrap my fragility in satin, anything to soften the fall They will burry me deep, with postmortem marks of your teeth My organs will be gone, dying out across your sheets, waving flags of defeat My blood will be on your hands and you won't care to wash it off You'll leave your handprints on my thighs and lick your fingers with pride You will watch as they lower me beneath the surface and smile wide *There is no greater revenge than staying alive*
