The Bride Lyrics

An anonymous bouquet
Raised a longing in the bride
Beckoning everyone in for the good news, that
No one has any good reason to live

Tears of laughter did pervade
Your ambivalent betrayer
Where was your diamond engaged that an instant
Could be written over like a page
In a dead book, yeah

Whose cascading empathy
Could really reach beyond tomorrow
And when the dinner chime
When the clarion calls
Won't be anyone listening at all

I figured out a few of the missing spots...see what you think:

I...I want a missed bouquet raised a longing in the (?) beckoning everyone in for the good news that no one has any good reason to live

Tears of laughter did pervade your ambivalent behavior where was your diamond engaged but an instant could be written over like a page in a dead book, yeah

whose cascading empathy could really reach beyond tomorrow? and when the dinner chime when the (?) calls (or comes??) will be anyone listening at all?

"Raised a longing in the bride" makes sense, and the last line is "When the clarion calls, will be anyone listening at all?"

i agree that the first part could be "bride", even though it sounds like "breath". however, he's most definitely saying instinct and not instant. listen to the "inct", its there.

Not Valid

the first line is actually "an anonymous bouquet" which actually makes sense when it is followed by "raised a longing in the bride."

i definitely hear that now druminscrubs25..

also, could "could really reach beyond tomorrow" be "could really reach beyond to borrow"?

and when the dinner chime...

I think this actually is "and when the tear ducts dry up" just sung very quickly!
