[Verse 1]
Damp wood
Cold silk on my throat
Rusted nails
Every breath tastes like smoke
I count cracks
In the satin like stars
Hear a thud
Then the silence in my heart
[Pre-Chorus]
Is that thunder?
Or the shovel they forgot?
Is that your name?
Or a worm in the rot?
I press my palms
Till the splinters draw a sign
If you can hear me
Answer from the other side
[Chorus]
Dead ringer
Hear the bell start singing low
In my coffin
Like a prayer you used to know
My screams are drowning
In this graveyard of my nerve
Six feet of secrets
Between my mouth and your world
Free me from darkness
Let me rise into the night
Free me from darkness
Drag me
Bleeding
Into light
[Verse 2]
Dried rose
Pinned sharp to my chest
Lipstick letters
Folded into my vest
I mouth words
That I never got to say
You wear black
But you never saw the grave
[Pre-Chorus]
Is that thunder?
Or your footsteps in the rain?
Is that your ring
Scratching softly at my name?
I claw the lid
Till my fingers turn to dust
If you remember
Turn my ruin into trust
[Chorus]
Dead ringer
Hear the bell start singing low
In my coffin
Like a prayer you used to know
My screams are drowning
In this graveyard of my nerve
Six feet of secrets
Between my mouth and your world
Free me from darkness
Let me rise into the night
Free me from darkness
Drag me
Bleeding
Into light
[Bridge]
If love was a spell
Why am I still entombed?
If you were my heaven
Why am I under you?
If you taste the soil
On the wind tonight
Follow the chime
Follow the blight
(come find me)
[Chorus]
Dead ringer
Hear the bell start singing low
In my coffin
Like a shattered halo
My screams are burning
Through the stone and through the dirt
Six feet of curses
But your name is still a word
Free me from darkness
Let me rise into the night
Free me from darkness
Take my hand and join the night
