Maybe the second verse is actually telling a story of what happened BEFORE the first verse, like many crime shows do. And maybe that's the way we need to think of it when we try dissecting the lyrics. (lol)
The first line in the second verse, "She keeps a picture of the body she lends," seems like it means that she, herself, pays close attention to how she comes off to others. The next line reminds me slightly of drugs, nasty blisters? Serious addicts really do get some honestly screwed blisters from the "money they spend." It also less then hints at the fact that she has money, consider that Mercedes Benz (and drugs) are NOT cheap. But it also says that she drives that Benz fast by all the "Barbies and Kens." Possibly this could mean she feels that she's moving fast through life, surrounded by all these "perfect" people. That itself can be completely unnerving in any circumstance, I think we can all understand the stress that comes with it. Now we get to the part where my little theory about Verse 2 before Verse 1 comes. :]
The line after it probably gets into the overload of stress parts. "If you ever say never too late," then "I'll forget all the diamonds you ate." Instead of explaining what each part means now, I'd rather summarize what I think the the point is because that would make MUCH more sense. I think it is a woman who's trying to climb the corporate ladder, something that can prove very deadly at times, and has been rejected something. A major promotion maybe. I think that was simply the last straw for the woman, and she simply, whether by choice or in a fit of built up rage, forgot about the fact that he was rich (diamonds he ate) and killed him. I think the coma part meant she was in a bit of a mental haze during it, and "covered in cake" probably means they were outside when it happened because, depending on your region, dirt is also called cake. Kill the witnesses while you're at it, why don't you. The next few lines I find irrelevant to the marriage theme everyone keeps coming up with, though.
Also, I think that this all happened on a business trip. It also seems that the feds figured the chick who murdered them all was crazy (thinking of the line in verse 2 "Increase the medication"?) since she seemed to have killed quite a lot of people, seemingly in the heat of the moment. If you're wondering why I think she killed a lot, for the obvious reasons of the second verse, and the lines in verse one, including "As they are face down and bloated." When a dead body is left in water, it tends to expand, "bloating."
One LAST thing, I don't believe this has to do with marriage. I honestly don't, maybe it was just a choice of words to explain a level of pained commitment, or the fact that whatever they were getting into was going to 'break', like marriages often tend to do.
Of course, this is just an extremely random interpretation so... XD
