"Natasha" lyrics
Been lonesome two years since she disappeared
I'm at the park where she was last seen
A vast green clearing wrapped up in maple trees spilling the
Morning rain from their leaves
I used to walk here with a girl, seventeen at the time
Mistress of seventeen smiles sublime
With flaming locks of red in autumn and burning locks of orange in the summertime
We were solemn and awkward
That last night together she laid by my side
Staring into starless skies black as fallen angel feathers
I stared into the forest pretending not to see the hangmen
She was hiding in her eyes of serpent green
She said there was another
I refused to believe her
I'd thought we'd kiss till our tongues tied together
I'd thought we'd kiss till our tongues tied together
All my loving memories became scenes of frenzied slaughter
My hands became cruel talons as they moved to destroy her
Her neck broke like a toy in a careless child's grip
My tears rained down into dead eyes and splashed upon her lifeless lips
I put her in the ground like a flower
I put her in the ground like a flower
Here I am standing in that same spot today
Where my angel's empty shell last laid
And as my tears began to well up once more
I see a path into the treeline that I'd never seen before
I follow it down into a ravine
Find a hole in the earth framed in the roots of a birch tree
Subtle echoes of her voice speaking words I've never heard
But the way she hissed her "s"'s
I knew it had to be her
I smell honeysuckle then opium
Two of her signature scents
I pull aside all the thistles and vines and mesmerized I make my descent
As I crawl further inside the light slowly dies and the dirt begins
To feel like her skin
I tremble as I drag my fingers down the walls
Caressing her sweet flesh again
I'm slipping downwards trying so hard not to fall
Slipping on the blood that's seeping from the walls
Then suddenly I'm surrounded by a thousand of her eyes, bathing the tunnel in a strange green light
The eyes show me pictures like ghostly television screens
All her thrashing final struggles and her ravaged corpse serene
The tunnel is closing behind me, pressing me further and further down
I'm being swallowed by her earth and consumed by her ground The end is moving into sight
I gasp and I scream as I see her lovely mouth five times the size of me
Her lips curl into a grin around her crooked gnashing teeth
I'm pulverized and devoured in the jaws of a girl seventeen
I'm at the park where she was last seen
A vast green clearing wrapped up in maple trees spilling the
Morning rain from their leaves
I used to walk here with a girl, seventeen at the time
Mistress of seventeen smiles sublime
With flaming locks of red in autumn and burning locks of orange in the summertime
We were solemn and awkward
That last night together she laid by my side
Staring into starless skies black as fallen angel feathers
I stared into the forest pretending not to see the hangmen
She was hiding in her eyes of serpent green
She said there was another
I refused to believe her
I'd thought we'd kiss till our tongues tied together
I'd thought we'd kiss till our tongues tied together
All my loving memories became scenes of frenzied slaughter
My hands became cruel talons as they moved to destroy her
Her neck broke like a toy in a careless child's grip
My tears rained down into dead eyes and splashed upon her lifeless lips
I put her in the ground like a flower
I put her in the ground like a flower
Here I am standing in that same spot today
Where my angel's empty shell last laid
And as my tears began to well up once more
I see a path into the treeline that I'd never seen before
I follow it down into a ravine
Find a hole in the earth framed in the roots of a birch tree
Subtle echoes of her voice speaking words I've never heard
But the way she hissed her "s"'s
