The Necropolis of Former Lovers - Aurelio Voltaire

We walked together through a garden everyday

It seemed a place of peace, it did for me anyway

But you saw tigers lurking just beyond the fences

And tear up those paper cats, they’re nothing more than your defenses

You kick the crosses of my exes everyday

It never made you seem better than them in anyway

You read between the lines of epitaphs on graves

Even in bed you raise the dead to speak their names

Don’t wake the beast while she’s asleep

Don’t dig for demons underneath

In this necropolis where former lovers lay

Don’t try so hard to dig that hole for your own grave

You kick the crosses of my exes everyday

It never made you seem better than her in anyway

You read between the lines of epitaphs on graves

Even in bed you raise the dead to speak her name

I could have walked beside you endlessly

But I grew weary of the shallow graves you led me to

It’s nothing short of a tragedy

You finally made me sad enough to write that song about you

I could have walked beside you endlessly

But I grew weary of the shallow graves you led me to

It’s nothing short of a tragedy

You finally made me sad enough to write that song about you

You finally made me sad enough to write that song about you

You finally made me mad enough to write that song about you
