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 kicked 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 raised 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 kicked 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 raised 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
