"Grave Intentions" lyrics

Your dress hangs off you like the veil of Christ
Your land is flowerless, fields of ghosts
I couldn't call you, you didn't want to hear
I couldn't see you, you didn't want me near
The strips of courage that you tore from me
Are drowning sailors, sinking beneath the sea

Oh, the waves of fear
The clawing of the dark
You made it oh, so clear
With a poisoned mark

Your dress hangs off you like the veil of Christ
Your land is flowerless, fields of ghosts
I couldn't call you, you didn't want to hear
I couldn't see you, you didn't want me near
The strips of courage that you tore from me
Are drowning sailors, sinking beneath the sea

And it's the way that I heal
That keeps me from the mire
Within these words I seal
Then cast upon the fire

There were dreams in which I wanted to
Eat your flesh and to devour you
But you left, I wondered where you'd go
And so it seems, we will never know

Your dress hangs off you like the veil of Christ
Your land is flowerless, fields of ghosts
I couldn't call you, you didn't want to hear
I couldn't see you, you didn't want me near
The strips of courage that you tore from me
Are drowning sailors, sinking beneath the sea
