Miss Murder (Director's cut)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
This is what I brought you; this you can keep
This is what I brought; you may forget me
I promise to depart, just promise one thing
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep
This is what I brought you; this you can keep
This is what I brought; you may forget me
I promised you my heart, just promise to sing
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep
This is what I thought; I thought you need me
This is what I thought; so think me naive
I promise you a heart, you promised to keep
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep
Hey, Miss Murder can I
Hey, Miss Murder can I
Make beauty stay if I
Take my life?
With just a look they shook
And heavens bowed before him.
Simply a look can break your heart.
The stars that pierce the sky;
He left them all behind.
We're left to wonder why
He left us all behind.
Hey, Miss Murder can I
Hey, Miss Murder can I
Make beauty stay if I
Take my life?
Dreams of his crash won't pass
Oh how they all adored him.
Beauty will last when spiraled down.
The stars that mystify
He left them all behind.
And how his children cry
He left us all behind.
Hey, Miss Murder can I
Hey, Miss Murder can I
Make beauty stay if I
Take my life?
What's the hook, the twist within this verbose mystery?
I would gladly bet my life upon it.
that the ghost you love, your ray of light will fizzle out
Without hope, hooooope
We're the empty set just floating through wrapped, in skin,
Ever searching for what we were promised
Reaching for that golden ring we'd never let go...
Who would ever let us put our filthy hands upon it?
Hey, Miss Murder can I
Hey, Miss Murder can I
Make beauty stay if I
Take my life? ( x 2)
