AFI - Miss Murder 21

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'd need me.
This is what I thought,
So, think me naive.
I promised you a heart you promised to keep.
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep.
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?
Whoa-oh-ohh

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?
Whoa-oh-ohh (ohh)

Dreams of his crash won’t pass oh, how they all adored him.
Beauty will last when spiraled down.
The stars that mystified, he left them all behind.
And how his children cried, he left us all behind.

Hey Miss Murder can I?
Hey Miss Murder can I?
MAKE beauty stay if I take my life?
Whoa-oh-ohh

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.

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 their filthy hands upon it?

Hey Miss Murder can I?
Hey Miss Murder can I?
MAKE beauty stay if I take my life?
Whoa-oh

Hey Miss Murder can I?
Hey Miss Murder can I?
MAKE beauty stay if I take my life?
Oh-oh
