[Verse 1]
Candles drown in dripping wax
Dust on every epitaph
Cold stone keeps the names you stole
I still hear them in my skull
Midnight tastes like rust and rain
Empty pews remember pain
Choir books with broken spines
Every hymn a crooked line
[Chorus]
Sing for me
Graveyard chorus (sing)
Drag my heart down through the floorboards
All your silence screaming louder than the living ever could
Graveyard chorus
Keep me
Wrap my pulse in faded lilies
If I disappear
Then let me drown beneath your iron flood
[Verse 2]
Portraits watch with shuttered eyes
Gold frames hide the brittle lies
Stained glass bleeds a dying red
Haloed saints with twisted heads
I’ve been praying to the dust
To your ashes
To our trust
Every promise carved in stone
Echoes back that I’m alone
[Chorus]
Sing for me
Graveyard chorus (oh)
Drag my heart down through the floorboards
All your silence screaming louder than the living ever could
Graveyard chorus
Keep me
Wrap my pulse in faded lilies
If I disappear
Then let me drown beneath your iron flood
[Bridge]
I wear the night like borrowed skin
Your shadow stitched along the seams
If this is curse
Then let it in
I’d rather haunt than ever heal
[Chorus]
Sing for me
Graveyard chorus
Drag my heart down through the floorboards
All your silence screaming louder than the living ever could
Graveyard chorus
Claim me
Lay me down where you can hear me
If I disappear
Then let me live forever in your blood
