[Verse 1]
Met you outside the corner store
Neon on your tired eyes
You laughed at my too‑pale hands
Said
"You look like you never die"
I’d seen centuries of endings
Dust and ashes
Wasted time
Then you asked me what my name was
Like it mattered I was mine
[Chorus]
You’re the pulse in my graveyard heart
You’re the dawn in a world gone dark
They can stake us
Break us
Call it wrong
Call it strange
But I’d trade all my endless nights
For one fragile
Flickering life in your arms
We’re the monsters tearing all their chains apart
Graveyard hearts
Beating in the black
[Verse 2]
You hold my wrist
Feel nothing
Smirk and say
"Guess I’m your breath"
I joke about the crucifix
You say
"I don’t believe in death"
You kiss my teeth
Taste danger
Tell me
"Love
You’re more than thirst"
We’re painting halos on our scars
Writing hymns for all the cursed
[Chorus]
You’re the pulse in my graveyard heart
You’re the dawn in a world gone dark
They can stake us
Break us
Call it wrong
Call it strange
But I’d trade all my endless nights
For one fragile
Flickering life in your arms
We’re the monsters tearing all their chains apart
Graveyard hearts
Beating in the black
[Bridge]
Let them pray for pretty stories (oh)
Boy meets girl and fades away
I will burn in every sunrise
Just to see your face
Let them carve their crooked warnings
On our door in dripping red
You just draw a crooked smiley
Say
"They’re scared of what we have"
[Chorus]
You’re the pulse in my graveyard heart
You’re the dawn in a world gone dark
They can stake us
Break us
Call it wrong
Call it strange
But I’d trade all my endless nights
For one fragile
Flickering life in your arms
We’re the proof that love rewrites the sacred parts
Graveyard hearts
Yeah
We’re graveyard hearts
Still beating in the black (hey!)
