slowly we peel away the layers and the light seeps through the cracks you whispered softly in my ear the birth of morning s upon us dear the bandages fell upon the floor and there was no one in that room and there was no one in that room and it s quiet down the hallway where the doctors wash their hands behind my eyes i feel the hollow jabs of your morphine kiss your anesthetic name is autographed upon my bones this reception died in vein this reception died in vain in vain this reception in vein this reception died in vain this reception in vein a tarnished angel leaves her ghost on the surface a jealous daughter starves to death for the mother as i awaited your return as i awaited your return i wait for your return it seems the only way that i will ever feel alive throw myself into my injuries and close my eyes i d give anything to feel alive and i will wait for you tonight and i will wait for you tonight i will wait for you tonight i will wait for you tonight the scalpel carves a map for you a map for you a map for you a map for you this reception died in vein died in vain died in vein died in vain this reception died in vein this reception died and i will wait for you and i will wait for you and i will wait for you and i will wait for you
