[Intro] [deep baritone bass vocal rhythm begins] (Dum-dum-dum-dum... dum-dum-dum-dum...) (Dum-dum-dum-dum... dum-dum-dum-dum...) [Verse 1] [lead gravelly baritone enters] Every time I sit alone I feel the worry in my bones I'm freezing in the life I'm letting go Every time I sing a song All the demons sing along Carry me... carry me... To my final home And I worry no more About what darkness has in store It whispers promises to me There's a strange light in the shadows now Only there I finally see [bass vocal continues] (Da-da-da-da-dum... da-da-da-da-dum...) [Pre-Chorus] [harmonized low vocals rise] Tell me why the silence speaks Louder than the living breathe Every scar became a map Leading somewhere I can't reach [Chorus] [huge layered chant] Carry me into the night Where the black begins to shine I don't fear the end anymore I've been dying all this time Let the heavens shut their doors Leave me where the ravens soar If this darkness sets me free... Then don't come looking for me (Whoa-oh... Whoa-oh...) (Carry me... carry me...) [Verse 2] [guitars become heavier] Every mirror cracks my face Every heartbeat leaves a trace Of someone that I used to know Every prayer I couldn't fake Every promise I would break Built another road below If this curse belongs to me Why's it feel like liberty? Why's the cold feel so alive? I've been chasing something real Inside wounds that never heal Still somehow... somehow I survive [Pre-Chorus] [choir joins quietly] All these ghosts know my name They don't judge, they never blame Every step I ever lost Led me deeper through the flame [Chorus] [larger, more aggressive] Carry me into the night Where the black begins to shine I don't fear the end anymore I've been dying all this time Let the heavens shut their doors Leave me where the ravens soar If this darkness sets me free... Then don't come looking for me (Carry me... carry me...) [Bridge] [instruments fall away except bass pulse] Maybe light was never mine Maybe I've been born between Every angel turned away Every devil looked at me If peace is found beyond the veil Then let these broken lungs exhale No more running... no disguise... [spoken whisper] "I've already lived my goodbye..." [Breakdown] [slow crushing rhythm, gang chants] Carry... Me... Carry... Me... Into... The... Dark... (Dum... Dum... Dum... Dum...) I don't belong above! I don't belong below! I only belong... where the silence grows! (Da-da-da-da-dum... Da-da-da-da-dum...) [Final Chorus] [full choir, emotional climax] Carry me into the night Where the stars refuse to die Every shadow knows my name Every tear has learned to fly I won't fight what's calling me There's beauty in eternity If this darkness is my home... Then I'll never be alone... [Outro] [instruments slowly fade] (Dum-dum-dum-dum... dum-dum-dum-dum...) [lead baritone, almost whispered] Every time I sit alone... I finally feel like... home... (Da-da-da-da-dum...) [silence]
