[Verse 1]
Even when it's dark
I keep my eyes open
Sadness in my ribs
Like a nail I can't loosen
I know what you mean
When the room turns cold
I wear the hurt out loud
Like a story I was sold
[Pre-Chorus]
I believe in death
In the teeth of the night
I keep reaching for a shape
That will end this fight
[Chorus]
Hope for death
Hope for death
It never comes for me
I keep crying
I keep crying
For an ending I can't see
Hope for death
Hope for death
I sing it through my teeth
[Verse 2]
My favorite songs
Sound like broken glass
Every slow collapse
Makes the second last
I kneel in the ash
With my hands full of rain
If the end won't take me
I'll keep naming the pain
[Pre-Chorus]
I believe in death
Like a bruise believes blue
Every prayer I spit
Turns right back into you
[Chorus]
Hope for death
Hope for death
It never comes for me
I keep crying
I keep crying
For an ending I can't see
Hope for death
Hope for death
I sing it through my teeth
[Bridge]
If the black breaks open
Will I still be here?
If the gate stays locked
I'll carve a path with fear
Take this hollow heart
Take this grinding sound
If I can't be saved
Let me shake the ground
[Final Chorus]
Hope for death
Hope for death
It never comes for me
I keep crying
I keep crying
For an ending I can't see
Hope for death
Hope for death
I sing it through my teeth
Hope for death
Hope for death
Until the dark takes me
