Lyrics

©2005
(verse 1)
the flowers that you never bought me
are dead now anyway
like you and I they were left to fall and rot
and still I see your body naked
lyin' quiet next to me
and ask myself what the hell we think we got
I don't wanna go you know but I just can't stay
gotta finally take a stand by walkin' away
but rape me of my pride just one last time
(chours)
let me wet you down
let me wet you down
let me wet you down
drive us both into the ground
let me wet you down
(verse 2)
we can't deny that we died
it was inevitable
and the decay won't delay
in this living tomb
and though it's strange let me arrange for a decent burial
so I can birth myself from my own womb
but rape me of my pride just one last time
(chorus)
let me wet you down
let me wet you down
let me wet you down
drive us both into the ground
let me wet you down
[electronic solo]
(verse 3)
the flowers that you never bought me
are dead now anyway
like you and I they were left
to fall and rot
and still I see your body naked lyin' quiet next to me
so rape me of my pride just one last time
(chorus)
let me wet you down
let me wet you down
let me wet you down
drive us both into the ground
let me wet you down
let me wet you down
let me wet you down
drive us both into the ground
let me wet you down
