Funeral For A Love Lyrics - Singles - 9 Days

(K. Edwards/M. Messela) 

Blood roses my bed 

your sugar my hour 

this is the moment 

this is the Tower 

Dressed in your jewels 

Your ribbons and lace 

Painted with seasons 

Winter, my face 

One thing missing 

One thing I own 

My gown of red blood 

my place of "alone" 

Cut at the plastic 

which covers my flesh 

Give me your reasons 

Give me what's left 

I run in the meadow 

where I was sheltered and fed 

to find someone living 

before I was dead 

I ran to his mother 

who sent me away 

I ran to his father 

weakened and gray 

I lay in the flowers 

which covered my wounds 

and wept for my lover 

and cursed the power of the moon 

my breathing was slow 

heavy and cold 

I felt the pain of sorrow 

the pain of the old 

I sent a soul down 

to bring me back home 

So I could go on 

In this hell all alone 

Welcome to the funeral for a love 

welcome to me eternity 

welcome to the home of every fear 

welcome to the death 

of a body 

of a soul 

of an entity 

(whisper) 

i never meant to let you down 

I never meant to be so weak 

I never meant to be so insignificant 

I never meant to not be what you wanted 

I never meant to not trust you 

I never meant to harm you 

I never meant to make you cry 

It was never meant for me to die
