Mausoleum Lyrics by Wintersleep

New Inheritors

2010

[Verse 1]
I play dumb
I play dead
In the mausoleum
Insectivorous

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Caught up in the cloth
Wrapped up in the gauze
Of your summer dress
Highlight shimmering
We dissolve in the wilderness (x2)

[Chorus 1]
I won't bite (x2)
Til you come around
Til you lay me down
Lay me down

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Caught up in the cloth
Wrapped up in the gauze
Of your summer skin
Highlight glistening
We dissolve in the wilderness (x2)

[Chorus 2]
I won't bite (x2)
Til you come around
Til you lay me down
Scattering light (x2)
Eyesight dimming
Dull-eyed specimen (x2)

[Bridge]
Decomposed
Metamorphosed
In the grass of your open chest
In the cracks and the crevices

[Pre-Chorus 3]
Caught up in the cloth
Wrapped up in the gauze
Of that last eclipse
Twilight glimmering
We dissolve in the wilderness (x2)

[Chorus 2]
I won't bite (x2)
Til you come around
Til you lay me down
Scattering light (x2)
Eyesight dimming
Dull-eyed specimen (x2)

[Instrumental]

[Chorus 3]
I won't bite (I won't bite) (x2)
Til you come around
Til you lay me down
Scattering light (Scattering light) (x2)
Eyesight dimming
Dull-eyed specimen (x2)
