My baby hid a body in the coffin by the door
The girl in the mirror
She saw her no more
There in the flat
Uses the casket as her coffee table
My baby makes about as much
Noise as she is able
She feels like a graveyard
The walls hum with her heartbeat
She wails
Come eventide
She won't let you sleep
Unlock the door!
Unlock the door!
Free her
When you're more than just a body
That is heaven
The dead come to rest
When the light is bright
Don't let me rest
Keep my soul alive
Broke every bone in her body in the storm
The shards they covered every inch of the floor
She walked upon them
With a purpose born anew
Oh my darling watch your step
She is coming for you!
She runs through the graveyard
Grass blades cutting on bare feet
She wails -
A new sound
She won't let you weep
Under the floor
Under the floor
Hear her
When you're more than just a body
That is heaven
The dead come to rest
When the light is bright
Don't let me rest
Keep my soul alive
It's strange to think
That somebody becomes a body
When they're no longer living
What's in somebody
That makes them somebody
But only when they're living?
It's strange to think
That you talk about her body
Like she's no longer living
What's in somebody
That makes them just a body
But when they're still living?
Is it a question of the body
Or autonomy?
The dead come to rest
When the light is bright
Don't let me rest
Keep my soul alive
The dead come to rest
When the light is bright
Don't let me rest
Keep my soul alive
(That is heaven
You are heaven
We are heaven
This is heaven)
