[Verse 1]
Ash in my hair
Blood on my shoes
City is quiet
I got nothing left to lose
Empty windows
Names on the wall
You were the last one
Now I trust nobody at all
[Pre-Chorus]
You said “til the end”
Then you fed me to the dead
Watched them claw at my skin
While you turned your head
I crawled through the teeth
Found my way through the smoke
And somewhere in the ruins
Something in me woke
[Chorus]
I am better off alone in the dark
Dead world
Cold heart
Beating like a war drum
I don’t need a soul in my arms
When every soft word turns into a loaded gun
You were my last little bit of faith
Now I drag that memory like a blade
I don’t need anyone
I don’t break
You were my best friend
Now you’re dead weight (dead weight)
[Verse 2]
Back to your shelter
I know every crack
Chalk mark on the doorway
I carved
I’m back
Hear you laughing
Through the metal door
Same little cackle
I don’t hear anymore
[Pre-Chorus]
You said “it was me”
As you slammed the gate
Tossed me to the hunger
Let it kiss my face
But I learned their sound
How the corpses move
Now I walk them like hounds
And they’re all for you
[Chorus]
I am better off alone in the dark
Dead world
Cold heart
Beating like a war drum
I don’t need a soul in my arms
When every soft word turns into a loaded gun
You were my last little bit of faith
Now I drag that memory like a blade
I don’t need anyone
I don’t break
You were my best friend
Now you’re dead weight (dead weight)
[Bridge]
[whispered
Close to mic]
Knock twice
Then silence
I hear your breath
“Is somebody there?”
Yeah
It’s what’s left
Of the girl that you buried
Under teeth and stone
Open up
Darling
Come claim what you own (hey)
[Chorus]
I am better off alone in the dark
Dead world
Cold heart
Beating like a war drum
I don’t need a soul in my arms
When every soft word turns into a loaded gun
You were my last little bit of faith
Now I drag that memory like a blade
I don’t need anyone
I don’t break
You were my best friend
Now you’re dead weight
[Outro]
One last promise
One last breath
You taught me vengeance
I’ll teach you rest
World gone rotten
Love turned grave
I walk on solo
You’re the one I saved
As dead weight
