death’s dynamic shroud
Missing Person
[Verse 1]
When they pulled the hooks out from your chest
Could you feel them pushing back the skin?
Was the water warmer than it looked
Or was it just another disappointing shallow?
[Verse 2]
Can I take you to a restaurant?
You might feel better after a meal
We could wrap your arms in paper towels
And put a little lipstick on you, my darling
[Verse 3]
If it's no big deal, I'd like to ask
When's the last you've smoked a cigarette?
If I call your phone, will you pick up
Or will you let it go to voicemail, just like always?
If I talk to you, will you tell the truth?
