Their hands are all over my face and my eyes
Their fingers around my throat
Their lips rasping sighs
They say
Darling, you look so divine
Every single one's screaming
Won't you be mine
Silver and gold they have placed in my hands
Diamonds and misery truly are girl's best friend
Stuck in a dollhouse of lies
We decompose in plain sight
I am Maria
I am a god
I am creature starved of love and blood
I am most holy
I am a whore
I am whatever they've brought me here for
My heart is a crossroads
They'll promise me anything
If I make the world just so
My heart is an altar
They'll worship me wretchedly
If I offer them all hope
My heart is a graveyard
They'll bury things assured that it's where they're meant to stay
My heart is a graveyard
They don't ask what I want
They just do things their way
Don't be so horrified
Chin up, my dear
Family knows best
And family knows fear
Lovers will swear on your soul
Sell it down the river
For fortune untold
I am Madonna
I am desire
I am a corpse made of maggots and wire
I am an angel
I am a bride
I am anathema for wounded pride
My body is a crossroads
They'll promise me anything
If I make the world just so
My body is an altar
They'll worship me wretchedly
If I offer them all hope
My body is a graveyard
They'll bury things assured that it's where they're meant to stay
My body is a graveyard
They don't ask for forgiveness, they just do things their way
If I damn myself, will I be saved
Does power equal freedom, or am I doomed anyway
If I ruin my own life, does it make it okay
Is my peace found in one final shame
Your body is a graveyard
Their hands breaking bones
Smearing sinew and tar
Your body is a graveyard
Your chest is a cage for their madness and war
Your body is a graveyard
Beloved by sorrow
Favored by the death knells
Your body is a graveyard
In unholy love and matrimony with hell
