Lyrics
[Verse 1]
They buried a name in stone
But the grave kept open wide
Saw him in the lampblack rain
With a grin like a silver knife
Black gloves on a marble hand
Wine on the collar of night
He reads our sins like a book
Then laughs at the final line
[Pre-Chorus]
He never left
No, he never sleeps
In the back of your skull
Where the black wind leans
[Chorus]
Byron never died
He lives in the dark
(He lives in the dark)
Byron never died
He kisses the scar
(He kisses the scar)
Blood on his tongue
And a song in the ash
Byron never died
He comes back fast
[Verse 2]
He walks through the fever dream
With a chalice of borrowed breath
Romance in a shattered coat
And a pact with a velvet death
He loves like a loaded blade
He drinks from the wrists of saints
Sardonic as candle smoke
Beautiful as a curse that stays
[Pre-Chorus]
He never left
No, he never fades
Every sleeping mind
Is a room he takes
[Chorus]
Byron never died
He lives in the dark
(He lives in the dark)
Byron never died
He kisses the scar
(He kisses the scar)
Blood on his tongue
And a song in the ash
Byron never died
He comes back fast
[Bridge]
When your eyelids fall
He is already there
At the edge of the bed
In the cold dead air
He raises a toast
To the ruin inside
Then steals your sweet name
And wears it with pride
[Chorus]
Byron never died
He lives in the dark
(He lives in the dark)
Byron never died
He kisses the scar
(He kisses the scar)
Blood on his tongue
And a song in the ash
Byron never died
He comes back fast
[Outro]
So lock your prayers
And bar your dreams
He wants the tender parts
He wants the seams
Byron never died
Byron never died
(He lives in the dark)
