lyrics

-Mausoleum-

Your dulcet violin was clear,
imprisoned my heart and ear
for twelve Julys last year when god was here
Many picture hooks on the wall,
many paint stains on the floor
and the love a father should nurture
is thrown out the door

Your apparition lives with me
through delight and odium
in one big shining mausoleum

It’s a bright sadness, you see
Love is hard to hold endlessly
Love is old, bold and untold for you and me
Found new skin immune from your grace,
bought new eyes that don't know your face
and the mother who’s killed within you
came to marble this place

So I dance with my unborn daughter
to the music of your requiem
in one big shining mausoleum
