[Verse 1] [scream] PURPLE! skulls in the sky, Streetlamps sweating [scream] YELLOW eyes [scream] Every death holds its breath As we file past another [scream] END Dripping silence over the [scream] LIPS Every second slightly [scream] BLURRED [scream] Like the tomb stone forgot its name But remembers what it [scream] TOOK [Chorus] We are ghost of the [scream] PURPLE hour Held in place by a hidden [scream] POWER Not a face Just a flood of [scream] SOUND We rise [scream] We rupture We go down Rituals of the [scream] PURPLE hour Hands like [scream] SMOKE Teeth like [scream] FLOWERS Not a name Just a ringing [scream] GROUND We rise We rupture We go down [Verse 2] Scream! Bodies hovering in a row Not quite here and not quite [scream] GHOSTS Every scream already [scream] OLD By the time it leaves the [scream] THROAT Warm buzzing overhead Light that loves to see us [scream] BARE Not to heal Not to care Just to mark what isn’t [scream] DEAD [Chorus] [Bridge] [low vocal register] [scream] Who were we Before the march [scream] BEGAN Before the gravel learned The shape of the [scream] SAND [whispered vocals] Say it once It echoes We are [scream] MORE And less Than them [crescendo] If time is [scream] BLEEDING Let it stain my [scream] CHEST Let it spell our names In the open [scream] AIR [Chorus]
