Lyrics

[Verse 1]
So thoroughly convinced that the product of persistence
Was a love that I'd been told of when I was just a kid
I was wed to my misery in the hopes that at the ceremony
You'd interject, but you never did
Now seven years on, bitter and resentful
I still contemplate what I did to deserve
The glimpses of affection you used to distract me
As you were filing my teeth to the nerve
[Verse 2]
I know you were the death of me
But still in spite of everything
I hope that you are finding sleep
While I'm still laying awake
And though my throat is burning as
It's still so quiet in your house
The emptiness you occupied
Is more than I can take
[Verse 3]
Tell me, are you ashamed?
'Cause I felt alone
And then you watched as I decayed
I slipped through your hands as I faded
I tried to forget
But your love will make a museum of me yet
I hope you know how long I've waited
[Verse 4]
The reservoirs of self-disgust
Have swollen up inside my lungs
Pulmonary edema is no substitute for love
That once lay its head upon my chest
As comfort cradled motionless
But I have come undone
My love is not enough
[Verse 5]
I know it's hard to watch your light fade from my eyes
But darling, for my sake, you've gotta let it die
My leathered hands have dug this grave enough
It's time for us to bury our love
[Verse 6]
Tell me, are you ashamed?
'Cause I felt alone
And then you watched as I decayed
I slipped through your hands as I faded
I tried to forget
But your love will make a museum of me yet
I hope you know how long I've waited
