Last Breath, First Light

[Verse 1] I count the cracks In the ceiling above my bed Promise myself I'll sleep when the fear has left my chest But it sits there Like a stone I never swallowed Every heartbeat A door I'm scared to follow [Chorus] I'm afraid of the dark at the end of the hall Afraid that the curtain just won't rise at all But if every last breath Is a step off the edge I'll hold my own hand As I walk to it I'm afraid of death But I'm learning how to kiss it [Verse 2] I see my name On the side of an empty chair Think of the jokes That'll hang like smoke in the air Will they miss me Or just pass the salt in silence Funny how love Still survives our vanished bodies [Chorus] [Bridge] What if the fall Feels like flying What if the end Is just unwinding If all I am Is given back To every river Every branch Then when it comes Let it find me Still a little scared But not hiding [Chorus]
