Wintersleep - Mausoleum Lyrics

Wintersleep Lyrics

"Mausoleum"

I play dumb
I play dead
In the mausoleum
Insectivorous

Caught up in the cloth
Wrapped up in the gauze
Of your summer dress
Highlight shimmering
We dissolve in the wilderness
We dissolve in the wilderness

I won't bite
I won't bite
Til you come around
Til you lay me down
Lay me down

Caught up in the cloth
Wrapped up in the gauze
Of your summer skin
Highlight glistening
We dissolve in the wilderness
We dissolve in the wilderness

I won't bite
I won't bite
Til you come around
Til you lay me down
Scattering light
Scattering light
Eyesight dimming
Dull-eyed specimen
Dull-eyed specimen

Decomposed
Metamorphosed
In the grass of your open chest
In the cracks and the crevices

Caught up in the cloth
Wrapped up in the gauze
Of that last eclipse
Twilight glimmering
We dissolve in the wilderness
We dissolve in the wilderness

I won't bite
I won't bite
Til you come around
Til you lay me down
Scattering light
Scattering light
Eyesight dimming
Dull-eyed specimen
Dull-eyed specimen

I won't bite (I won't bite)
I won't bite (I won't bite)
Til you come around
Til you lay me down
Scattering light (Scattering light)
Scattering light (Scattering light)
Eyesight dimming
Dull-eyed specimen
Dull-eyed specimen
