Would you have liked me better if I'd died
So you could tell my story the way it ought to be?
You'd find my parents and ask to see my things
Rifle through it all, fill the blanks with what you need
If I'd died willing, you'd have taken it nice
If I'd sewn rocks in a dress, gone with grace into a lake
But since I'm alive, you'll have to break in as I sleep
When you find my love beside me, choke him dead for having me
While I dream of flying, stab me twenty-seven times
Ransack the house for what you'll auction, what you'll keep
Then embalm me up, 'cause you're hosting the viewing
Saying she gave her life so we could have her in our dreams
She gave her life
So we could fuck her as we please
So you could tell my story the way it ought to be?
You'd find my parents and ask to see my things
Rifle through it all, fill the blanks with what you need
If I'd died willing, you'd have taken it nice
If I'd sewn rocks in a dress, gone with grace into a lake
But since I'm alive, you'll have to break in as I sleep
When you find my love beside me, choke him dead for having me
While I dream of flying, stab me twenty-seven times
Ransack the house for what you'll auction, what you'll keep
Then embalm me up, 'cause you're hosting the viewing
Saying she gave her life so we could have her in our dreams
She gave her life
So we could fuck her as we please

A haunting melody with dark lyrics that reminded me of the plot of the novel "Yellowface" - about a woman who steals her deceased friend's manuscript and publishes it as her own work. Great book, if you have not read it. Great song too.
(...just ignore the somewhat depressing lyrics...)
