this is definitely about necrophilia, yes
lyrics
It's been a year now since he died
my friends say it's time to let go and I tried
but he was truly the love of my life
I kept all his shirts, like I kept the knife
It's wrapped up in velvet, in the back of my closet,
locked in a box where no one can find it
The blade's stained with blood, and sometimes I drag it
across my skin to bleed just like he did
Bridge:
I'm not crazy, just in love, I'm not crazy
Chorus:
They say "Pull yourself together, you can't mourn for him forever!"
They say "Move on, find someone better, there's plenty of men out there!"
But I don't like them pretty! And I don't like them nice!
I don't like them healthy and I don't like them alive!
I love it when they're skinny and rotten from within,
I love it when they're ugly, with pale white skin
And when I feel lonely, I grab a shovel and dig to soothe my aching heart,
deep in the night, when no one is watching, I meet
my boyfriend from the graveyard
He's a quiet one, he never talks
but I understand him, even without words
And he's a shy one, but always hard
he's heavy and cold, but it's hot when it hurts
I'm not into dating a cute guy with a tan and movies and fighting and make-up sex
I'm into teeth and bones and bugs in the flesh of boys who don't fight back
Bridge
Chorus
No posy in the world compares to the flowers on his grave
No man alive could love me this way
He's everything I want: He's dead
Betcha he can't cheat on me without a pulse! Without a head!
I hated that fucker
Chorus
I miss my boyfriend from the graveyard,
I miss my boyfriend from the graveyard,
I love my boyfriend from the graveyard,
I kiss my boyfriend from the graveyard,
I meet my boyfriend from the graveyard,
I dig up my boyfriend from the graveyard,
I fuck my boyfriend from the graveyard
I killed my boyfriend from the graveyard
