Blood Ballet

Say it's not so

Say your heart, it wrote me letters all the time

Say it sealed them up and with your breath did sign

Them all away

Say that your notes

They were no forgery, you meant them, every line

Some in meter, some in verse, and some in rhyme

Tell me you meant every word

You could cut my knees and leave me at the door

I'd still pick all your memories off our dusty floor

If you'd stay

If you'd stay

Darling, just a little while

Darling, just a little while

Darling, just a little while

Tell me how you are

And I'll write a song for every feeling I can't name

Like we were dancing in a fucking blood ballet

It was a massacre

How'd you get away?

'Cause, oh, good heavens we abided by the night

But there are darker things than the absence of light

And they still creak through our halls

I would build a city out of you and me

There would be crime, but still a local grocery

If you'd stay

If you'd stay

Darling, just a little while

Darling, just a little while

Darling, just a little while

Ooh ooh

A little while

Ooh ooh

A little while

Ooh ooh

A little while

Darling, just a little while
