If You Listen to This Song, I Promise I Will Come for You Tonight While You Are Sleeping, Kiss Your Forehead and Slit Your Throat. You Will Die Screaming Whilst Gurgling Blood.

lyrics

[We’ve just slit our wrists and we're slowly, but passionately making out with bruises over our deadweight eyelids. Crushed between two walls, the blood flows down our forearms forming little rivulets that grow like vines. So, as we die, I can't help but feel that we're not taking anything from this world, or anyone, or anything - we're giving back more than we ever could living. Flowers will grow from our grave, uniting our bodies, transcending the paths we razed, searching in desperation through ever-increasing sexual chagrin… We will become the Earth and sky, rain, and eventually the tears of lovers shed on seeing their others adorned in marriage suits, gowns, or whatever people will wear if marriage still exists eight centuries from now. Darling, no one could live so passionately, burn with fire so fervent for so far into the future in these animated bodies. So let's become the animated stars again, the ones they can't see yet because we're so far away the light won't reach them for another million-and-one years. I said I'd love you till the end of time, hell, I'm going to prove it. My love, I'm sure God poured kerosene over all our souls. What a tragic idea that we should hinder love and social progress for an after-death life, and not live.]
