This is what I brought you
This you can keep
This is what I brought
You may forget me
I promise to depart
Just promise one thing
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep

This is what I brought you
This you can keep
This is what I brought
You may forget me
I promised you my heart
Just promise to sing
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep

Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep

This is what I thought
I thought you need me
This is what I thought
So think me naive
I promise you a heart
You promised to keep
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep

Kiss my eyes and lay me to
sleep

Hey Miss Murder can I?
Hey Miss Murder can I?
Make beauty stay if I,
take my life?

whoa-oh-ohh

With just a look they shook
And heavens bowed before him.
Simply a look can break your heart.
The stars that pierce the sky;
He left them all behind.
We’re left to wonder why
He left us all behind.

Hey Miss Murder can I?
Hey Miss Murder can I?
Make beauty stay if I,
take my life?
whoa-oh-ohh
(ohh)

Dreams of his crash won’t pass
Or how they all adored him.
Beauty will last when spiraled down.
The stars that mystify
He left them all behind.
And how his children cry
He left us all behind.

Hey Miss Murder can I?
Hey Miss Murder can I?
Make beauty stay if I,
take my life?
whoa-oh-ohh

What's the hook, the twist
within this verbose mystery?
I would gladly bet my life upon it.
That the ghost you love, your ray of light
Will fizzle out without hope. (hope)
We're the empty set just floating through, wrapped in skin,
Ever searching for what we were promised.
Reaching for that golden ring we'd never let go,
Who would ever let us put their filthy hands upon it?

Hey Miss Murder can I?
Hey Miss Murder can I?
Make beauty stay if I,
take my life?
whoa-oh-ohh

Hey Miss Murder can I?
Hey Miss Murder can I?
Make beauty stay if I,
take my life?
oh-oh

    The black rabbits used to symbolize ill omen and often death in olden times of yore. If you caught the making of this video the director explains that part or maybe you may have studied it in history like i did. A fact you could use to impress your history teacher? Lol. Hope I could help!
