Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I woke beneath a moonless sky,
With no one left to ask me why.
The road behind was cold and long,
A trail of ghosts, a dying song.
I learned too young that trust can bleed,
And desperate hearts do desperate deeds.
So I carved my name into the night,
And made the darkness feel like light.
They warned me where this road would end,
No second chances, no true friends.
But every scar across my skin
Reminds me where the hell I’ve been.
[Pre-Chorus]
I hear the whispers when I sleep,
Promises the dead don’t keep.
Every voice I left behind
Still comes looking for me sometimes.
[Chorus]
I keep bad company
With the silence next to me.
Got the devil at my back,
And my shadow dressed in black.
No angels know my name,
No preacher takes the blame.
When the whole damn world goes quiet,
That’s when I hear everything.
I keep bad company—
And the silence keeps me.
[Verse 2]
There was a time I feared the dark,
Before the darkness left its mark.
Before I learned a loaded smile
Could hide a lie for twenty miles.
I’ve watched good men become their hate,
Seen saints arrive a day too late.
I’ve heard the righteous curse my name,
Then turn around and do the same.
So save your judgment, save your prayer,
I’ve searched for mercy—nothing there.
If redemption wants me, let it come.
I’m through pretending I can run.
[Pre-Chorus]
Now every footstep sounds like mine,
Echoing through abandoned time.
Maybe I’m haunted, maybe I’m free—
Maybe there’s no difference to me.
[Chorus]
I keep bad company
With the silence next to me.
Got the devil at my back,
And my shadow dressed in black.
No angels know my name,
No preacher takes the blame.
When the whole damn world goes quiet,
That’s when I hear everything.
I keep bad company—
And the silence keeps me.
[Bridge — quiet]
Silence knows the things I’ve done.
Silence knows what I’ve become.
It never lies.
It never leaves.
It knows the blood beneath my sleeves.
And when I stare into the night,
There ain’t a single star in sight.
Still something whispers from within:
“You ain’t dead yet… rise again.”
[Breakdown]
So let ’em come.
Let ’em speak.
Let ’em call me damned and weak.
I’ve crawled through fire.
I’ve tasted dirt.
You can’t threaten me with hurt.
I buried fear beneath my feet.
Made every failure bittersweet.
If this world’s determined to bury me—
THEN DIG THE GRAVE DEEP.
[Final Chorus]
I KEEP BAD COMPANY
WITH THE SILENCE NEXT TO ME.
Got my demons at my back,
And we’re marching dressed in black.
Let the heavens curse my name,
I’ve survived the wind and rain.
When the whole damn world goes quiet,
I’ll be screaming through the pain.
I keep bad company,
But they’re all I’ve ever known.
If the silence wants to follow—
Then I won’t walk alone.
[Outro]
No choir.
No crowd.
No final words spoken aloud.
Just bootsteps fading endlessly…
Me, my ghosts,
and bad company.
