Prompt / Lyrics
[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
