Take me down to your river My love, my love Even through you are bloated and waterlogged Hold me close to your soul, sew me into your flesh Let me lie in your lap and die in your arms Let the madness consume my heart like it consumed your mind Take me to your altar Dip me into the water Baptist me in death and clothe me in white My wishful lover, take me to your altar I would serve you till I am dead and buried yonder

"Ophelia" except it's a placeholder name because I don't want to say their real one
Take me down to your river My love, my love Even through you are bloated and waterlogged Hold me close to your soul, sew me into your flesh Let me lie in your lap and die in your arms Let the madness consume my heart like it consumed your mind Take me to your altar Dip me into the water Baptist me in death and clothe me in white My wishful lover, take me to your altar I would serve you till I am dead and buried yonder
