[Verse 1] Black tie morning Ash on roses, soft goodbyes Trigger warning Polished wingtips, suited lies Every word you ever said Plays like reverb in my head Every promise made in vain Leaves me cold in pouring rain [Pre-Chorus 1] Sunday silence, hold the line Shake his hand, say “He was kind” [Chorus Tease (cut before release)] Close the light, say goodnight When darkness comes, I’m terrified— [Verse 2] Graveyard preacher Talks of kingdoms in the skies Casket teacher Shows me how a memory dies Every bruise you never showed Lives beneath the skin I hold Every shadow you designed Still knows how to find my mind [Pre-Chorus 2] Dust to dust and hand to hand TELL ME I SHOULD UNDERSTAND! [Chorus (Full)] Close the light, say goodnight When darkness comes, I’m terrified With blankets kept, above my head On baited breath, I’m terrified You promised me, to set me free and now you lye, I’m terrified In silence now, I wait the sound The door creaks wide, I'M TERRIFIED! [Verse 3] Gravel breathing Under heels and heavy skies Hands are shaking As they quote the ties that bind Every silence you designed Built a room to hide my grief Every echo left to die They see tears I feel relief [Pre-Chorus 3] All that water beneath the clay STILL WON'T WASH YOUR SINS AWAY!! [EPIC GUITAR SOLO] [Final Chorus] Face the light, no goodnight When morning breaks, I’m terrified With ceilings bare above my head On baited breath, I’m terrified You taught me how to stand alone Now there’s no one left inside In silence now, no waiting sound No footsteps in the hall around The door stays closed, I'M TERRIFIED!
