“The Grave Still Knows Your Name” (Verse 1) Your ghost still walks these hallways I hear you when the house goes still Like teeth against the silence Like a wound that never healed The mirror holds your shadow The bedroom smells like smoke and rain And every night I swear to God The dark still whispers your name (Pre-Chorus) I tried to bury every memory But the dirt won’t keep you down You live inside the hollow Of every lonely sound (Chorus) And I will never see you again Your hands are cold beneath the stone But your laughter stains the walls at night And leaves me here alone Now every dream becomes a grave Every sunrise feels diseased Because the earth may own your body But your death still feeds on me I hear you in the static In the spaces sleep won’t reach And loving you was beautiful But losing you ruined me (Verse 2) The nights have grown infected With all the words we never said I keep your picture face-down now Like I’m hiding from the dead The candles burn like funeral stars Their smoke crawls up the ceiling slow And grief has teeth beneath its skin I know because I feel them close (Bridge) Maybe heaven never wanted us Maybe God just looked away Maybe death is just the punishment For needing someone to stay And I still wake up reaching For a pulse that isn’t there Only to find the emptiness Breathing in the chair (Final Chorus) No, I will never touch you again Your voice is ash inside my chest And every memory cuts deeper now Than the night you finally left The grave still knows your name And mine beside it too Because part of me was buried there The moment death took you (Outro) So if there’s something after this If the dead still wander through Then haunt me until my final breath Because hell is life without you.
