Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Black suit on the back of my door Tag still swinging like a clock on a cord Been sleeping with the light on Boots by the bed Just in case the dark starts calling for my head I trace my name in the dust on the glass Ask my reflection "How long will this last?" My pulse jumps hard at the creak of the floor Every small silence feels like a war [Chorus] If I gotta go Let it be a beautiful deathday Roses in the gutter Thunder in the sky Candles in the rain Burning down the pathway Tear-streaked faces singing me goodbye If I gotta fall into that endless doorway Let the clouds crack open Turn the night to wine Let my last breath taste like something holy When the dark takes this frightened life of mine [Verse 2] I joke at wakes But my hands always shake Counting every heartbeat like it's bound to break Priests say peace But their eyes look tired I'm a scarecrow soul on a funeral wire I want graveyard grass between my teeth Laughing as they lower me under the leaves Children chasing crows through the crooked stones Life spilling color over all these bones [Chorus] If I gotta go Let it be a beautiful deathday Roses in the gutter Thunder in the sky Candles in the rain Burning down the pathway Tear-streaked faces singing me goodbye If I gotta fall into that endless doorway Let the clouds crack open Turn the night to wine Let my last breath taste like something holy When the dark takes this frightened life of mine [Bridge] Will it hurt Will it fade Will it tear me apart? Will I claw at the sheets? Will I beg my heart? Or will I see every small Stupid thing I survived And finally feel alive Alive Alive (oh) [Chorus] If I gotta go Let it be a beautiful deathday Organs shaking rafters Thunder in my chest Lips I love pressed warm against my pathway "I'm right here I'm right here " over every breath If I gotta fall into that endless doorway Let the sky bleed color over blackened pines Let the fear burn out like a spent old candle As the dark takes this trembling life of mine [Outro] Black suit swinging on the back of my door One day it won't scare me anymore
