[Verse 1]
Boot prints burn
In these cracked red stones
Smoke in my lungs
Tastes like old prayers
Every face I carry
Like a bruise on my back
Their stories drip slow
Through my clenched teeth
[Chorus]
I walk through hell
With your weight on my spine
Every step I take
Ain’t even mine
Ash on my tongue
From the words you never said
I’m losing to insanity
Bleeding for a love long dead
(bleeding for a love long dead)
[Verse 2]
Your name’s carved crooked
In my bitten-down hands
I cover up your scars
With my own fresh damage
Every “I’m fine”
Is a cracked stained-glass lie
Holding up your sky
While my sun runs dry
[Chorus]
I walk through hell
With your weight on my spine
Every step I take
Ain’t even mine
Ash on my tongue
From the words you never said
I’m losing to insanity
Bleeding for a love long dead
(yeah, bleeding for a love long dead)
[Bridge]
If I crawl out
Will you even feel lighter
Or just find
Someone softer to save you
I’m screaming in caves
Where our echoes dissolve
Cutting my heart
On a promise you won’t resolve
(you won’t resolve)
[Chorus]
I walk through hell
With your weight on my spine
Every step I take
Ain’t even mine
Ash on my tongue
From the words you never said
I’m losing to insanity
Suffering for a love long dead
(suffering for a love long dead)
