[Verse 1]
Empty bottle on the nightstand
Her picture folded in my fist
Counting scars like they’re a prayer bead chain
Thinking
How did it come to this
Traffic howling through the window
Heartbeat trying to keep time
Every breath feels like borrowed change
On the wrong side of the line
[Chorus]
Through death I find life
At the edge of the night
I’m shaking
Staring down the end
But your name keeps my hands from breaking
If this is goodbye
Then I’ll bleed every truth I’ve been hiding
Through death I find life
Loving you to the end
Still fighting
[Verse 2]
Cold steel ghost in the drawer now
Whispers louder than the room
All the ways I tried to disappear
Painted in that silent gloom
But I see you in the doorway
Eyes red
Begging me to stay
Your “please don’t go” cuts deeper
Than anything aimed my way
[Chorus]
Through death I find life
At the edge of the night
I’m shaking
Staring down the end
But your name keeps my hands from breaking
If this is goodbye
Then I’ll bleed every truth I’ve been hiding
Through death I find life
Loving you to the end
Still fighting
[Bridge]
Maybe I was trying to kill the pain
Maybe I was aiming at the shame
But you touched the barrel of my blame
Said
“Live enough to change your name” (oh)
[Chorus]
Through death I find life
At the edge of the night
I’m shaking
Staring down the end
But your love keeps my heart from fading
If this is goodbye
Let it be to the person who’s dying
Through death I find life
Loving you to the end
Still fighting
Still fighting (yeah)
