Blown up into black on white
So calm against the darkness
Daylight gone and the curtain down
Lights off for the rest of life
Haunted house and nameless thought
Blackened mind and foul deeds done
On the floor and locked indoors
Last rites with the lonely wife
With nothing on and standing stark
So bold against the emptiness
In nature’s state and body white
Leave the bone and bleach the flesh
Underneath she’s black
Once the bride to be
Now an exquisite corpse
