Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Old church basement
Dust on the pews
Hymn books open
Nobody moves
Candles half melted
Dripping like time
Your coat on the railing
Still hangs like you're alive
[Chorus]
These are the chords for the dead
Notes you left in my head
Every change you played
Still turning in my chest
I press down, you answer
Through the hum of regret
I keep playing your progressions
Cords for the dead
[Verse 2]
Coffee gone bitter
On your side of the sink
Your scrawl on a napkin
“Back soon” in blue ink
Neighbors hear us
Through these paper-thin walls
One voice living
One ghost in the hall
[Chorus]
These are the chords for the dead
Notes you left in my head
Every change you played
Still turning in my chest
I press down, you answer
Through the hum of regret
I keep playing your progressions
Cords for the dead
[Bridge]
You taught me which tension
Feels closest to grace
How a wrong tone, held steady
Can still find its place
So I lean on the dissonance
Let it ache, let it stay (oh)
'Cause losing you is the cadence
That never quite resolves away
[Chorus]
These are the chords for the dead
Notes you left in my head
Every change you played
Still turning in my chest
I press down, you answer
Through the hum of regret
I keep playing your progressions
Cords for the dead (for the dead)
