Natasha lyrics

Been lonesome two years since she disappeared
I'm at the park where she was last seen
A vast green clearing
Wrapped up in maple trees
Spilling the morning rain from their leaves
I used to walk here with a girl
Seventeen at the time
Mistress of seventeen smiles sublime
With flaming locks of red in autumn
And burning locks of orange in the summertime

We were solemn and awkward
That last night together
She laid by my side
Staring into starless skies
Black as fallen angel feathers
I stared into the forest
Pretending not to see the hangmen
She was hiding in her eyes of serpent green
She said there was another
I refused to believe her

I'd thought we'd kiss
'Till our tongues tied together
I'd thought we'd kiss
'Till our tongues tied together
All my loving memories
Became scenes of frenzied slaughter
My hands became cruel talons
As they moved to destroy her
Her neck broke like a toy
In a careless child's grip
My tears rained down
Into dead eyes
And splashed upon
Her lifeless lips

I put her in the ground
Like a flower
I put her in the ground
Like a flower

Here I am standing
In that same spot today
Where my angel's empty shell last laid
And as my tears began
To well up once more
I see a path into the tree line
That I'd never seen before
I follow it down into a ravine
Find a hole in the earth
Framed in the roots of a birch tree
Subtle echoes of her voice
Speaking words I've never heard
But the way she hissed her "s"'s
I knew it had to be her
I smell honeysuckle then opium
Two of her signature scents
I pull aside all the thistles and vines
And mesmerized I make my descent
As I crawl further inside the light slowly dies
And the dirt begins to feel like her skin

I tremble
As I drag my fingers down the walls
Caressing her sweet flesh again
I'm slipping downwards
Trying so hard not to fall
Slipping on the blood
That's seeping from the walls
Then suddenly I'm surrounded
By a thousand of her eyes
Bathing the tunnel in a strange green light

The eyes show me pictures
Like ghostly television screens
All her thrashing final struggles
And her ravaged corpse serene
The tunnel is closing behind me
Pressing me further and further down
I'm being swallowed by her earth
And consumed by her ground
The end is moving into sight
I gasp and I scream
As I see her lovely mouth
Five times the size of me
Her lips curl into a grin
Around her crooked gnashing teeth

I'm pulverized and devoured
In the jaws of a girl seventeen
