[Verse 1] I kept your ring in ash Under the mattress seam Your name still stains my tongue Like blood in a broken dream The chair by the window waits For a body that won't come home I set two plates at dusk Then eat with the dead alone [Pre-Chorus] And I hear your coat in the hall I swear you just missed the call My hands shake in the candle wax I know you won't crawl back [Chorus] Dead love, dead love Don't you rise, don't you rise Dead love, dead love You still live in my eyes Dead love, dead love In the black, in the black Dead love, dead love And it keeps calling me back [Verse 2] Your letters curled in the box Where the moths made their home I kissed the creased old ink Like a priest at a stone The garden went wild and mean Thorns took the rosewood gate I walk where we used to pray Now I walk with the weight [Pre-Chorus] And I hear your coat in the hall I swear you just missed the call My hands shake in the candle wax I know you won't crawl back [Chorus] Dead love, dead love Don't you rise, don't you rise Dead love, dead love You still live in my eyes Dead love, dead love In the black, in the black Dead love, dead love And it keeps calling me back [Bridge] If I bury your ghost tonight Will you sleep in the dark? Or claw through the lid at dawn With your ruin in my heart I tried to set you free Tried to cut the silver thread But the cold keeps saying your name And I follow the dead [Final Chorus] Dead love, dead love Don't you rise, don't you rise Dead love, dead love You still live in my eyes Dead love, dead love In the black, in the black Dead love, dead love And it keeps calling me back Dead love, dead love I still hear you breathe Dead love, dead love Beneath the sheets of grief Dead love, dead love Till the last light cracks Dead love, dead love And it keeps calling me back
