lyrics

She wears halos when she sleeps
And she tells me she wants me to sleep
Next to her resting dead body
And she's all I need to smell, to breathe
And she's what I dream about and think about
And she's what I write about, I'm strung out
She's the words on my tongue and from my mouth
And she's what I'm lost without, can't live without
And she's dripping blood from her thorn crown
And she's falling to the ground, bones worn out.

She breathes poetry,
She breathes poetry.

Wintergreen
And I'm crying
Emerald envy
She's gone and I'm crying
Wintergreen, emerald envy
She's dead and I'm dying.

I am gorgeous, king of myself
I am perfect, queen of everyone else
Feed me grapes and fan me with fern leaves
And wash my skin and bring me branches of cherry trees
And I'll be the bitch under the silk bedsheets
And we can laugh at all the slave wannabes
And we'll eat avocados and spit the pits at the dogs
And I'll pretend to you that I'm somebody else
And I'll pretend to you like I'm not crying
And I'll blame the putrid smell on somebody.

Wintergreen
And I'm crying
Emerald envy
She's gone and I'm crying
Wintergreen, emerald envy
She's dead and I'm dying.

She told me to sleep with her dead body
And she was laughing through her teeth when she told me
And I am gorgeous, I am holy
Lay palms in blankets before me
Blood behind her eyes
Skin once was white
Heavy chest, no rest, deep breaths, strong pecks
I'm perfect, you're ugly, bathe in regret
Unbreakable, immortal resent
Bathe me in your sin's, waters' promise to repent.

Wintergreen
And I'm crying
Emerald envy
She's gone and I'm crying
Wintergreen, emerald envy
She's dead and I'm dying.

Angel dressed in red
Fire on her breath
Hair in knots,
Dripping in red....

Naked body, on my bed.
