[Intro]
One, two
One, two, three, four
[Verse 1]
Tiny hands on the blackboard
Drawing bones in red
Lunchbox full of ash and chalk
Pillowcase of dread
We built a throne from broken teeth
And called it playtime
Now the hallway splits my name
Like a blade on a line
[Pre-Chorus]
Count the cracks
Count the stains
Tiny mouths
Singing pain
[Chorus]
Crayon mausoleum
Crayon mausoleum
Little voices, iron lungs
Crayon mausoleum
Crayon mausoleum
We bite the bell and sing it once
[Verse 2]
Shoes by the door like warning signs
Fingers in the dark
Paper crowns and stitched-up eyes
A wolf in every park
The teacher wrote our ending twice
Then scraped it clean
We fed the page to the furnace
And watched it scream
[Pre-Chorus]
Count the cracks
Count the stains
Tiny mouths
Singing pain
[Chorus]
Crayon mausoleum
Crayon mausoleum
Little voices, iron lungs
Crayon mausoleum
Crayon mausoleum
We bite the bell and sing it once
[Bridge]
Hush now
The chapel swings
Clap your hands
For broken things
Hush now
Let it shake
Every smile
Was built to break
[Breakdown]
STEP
BY
STEP
WE ROT
STEP
BY
STEP
WE PLOT
[Final Chorus]
Crayon mausoleum
Crayon mausoleum
Little voices, iron lungs
Crayon mausoleum
Crayon mausoleum
We bite the bell and sing it once
[Outro]
One, two
The blackboard bleeds
One, two, three, four
We are the choir beneath the floor
