[Intro] [Whispered] The grave was already open I just hadn't climbed in yet [Verse 1] I used to talk to the walls when the lights went dead Heard scratching in the attic that wasn't in my head Kept a blade under the pillow just to feel less alone Wrote names in the dirt then I buried the stone Mother said the devil don't knock, he just waits I left the door unlocked, let him sit at my plate Ate silence for dinner, drank blood from the tap Wore yesterday's sins like a funeral cap They found the first body where the river runs black I was already smiling when they turned their back [Chorus] Before we met I was already gone A ghost in the mirror with the lights still on Before we met I was digging my grave Now we share the same dirt and the same dark name Before we met I was the nightmare Now you're the one who holds the blade with me [Verse 2] You showed up like a shadow that learned how to speak Cold hands, colder eyes, and a smile full of teeth Said I been watching you rot from the other side Then you opened your coat and I saw what you hide Same scars, same nights, same voices that scream We didn't fall in love, we fell into the same dream Now the basement stays locked and the floorboards all moan Two hearts in one coffin, we call it a home They'll never find us both, they don't even know The last thing they hear is us laughing below [Chorus] Before we met I was already gone A ghost in the mirror with the lights still on Before we met I was digging my grave Now we share the same dirt and the same dark name Before we met I was the nightmare Now you're the one who holds the blade with me [Bridge] Don't ask me who I was Don't ask what I did The person you met Was already hid Under six feet of dirt And a name I forgot We didn't start living We just stopped being caught [Outro] [Whispered] Before we met I was already dead Now we die together That's the only peace I ever get
