Infirmary
Ethel Cain
Watching him lie there on that stone
It hurts me more than you could know
His body's limp, and his eyes are glass
He told me not to look back
And they'll bury you if I turn away
'Cause you cannot move, and we cannot stay
But, my love, I cannot leave you here
Not out of love, but out of fear
And I'd cry and cry, and leave you in my wake
Would you haunt me just to ease my memory's sake?
'Cause if I forget the things that made us us
I might believe I just made you up
This sickness killed my only love
Destroying what I'm made up of
I'd beg for God
To give you back
But He isn't there and you told me that
And I've lost the one thing that I had
And I knew that it'd hurt, but I didn't know how bad
And I'd cry and cry, and leave you in my wake
Would you haunt me just to ease my memory's sake?
'Cause if I forget the things that made us us
I might believe I just made you up
Please, come back to me, my love (Please, come back to me)
My vision's blurred and I can't see
Prostrate on the ground in silence
Six feet under with you is where I'd rather be
Please
Please
Please
Oh, please
Come back to me
Oh, please
Please, just kill me
Won't you please?
