[Verse 1] Found your coat Back of my closet Dust in the sleeves Still smells like August I hold my breath Like that could rewind it Talk to the air Pretend that you’re in it [Pre-Chorus] I’ve been scraping at the surface Of a grave I dug myself Every memory’s a shovel Every silence something else [Chorus] I’m exhuming the forgotten Digging up the dead and rotten Every broken vow I buried with you I keep pulling on the past Till it’s tearing through my hands If I let it go Do I lose you too? Or did I already lose you? [Verse 2] Cross on the wall Tilted and empty Prayers in a jar Dried up and heavy I still wear That faith like a habit Hope on my tongue But my heart can’t grab it [Pre-Chorus] I’ve been sleeping in the ashes Of the life we never had Calling out to faded echoes Like that could bring you back [Chorus] [Bridge] [low vocal register] If I stop believing Do you fade away? If I stop this bleeding Do I love you the same? [guitar wail under vocal] I’m kneeling in the wreckage Hands shaking in the rain Trying to raise a ghost By screaming your name [Chorus] [crescendo]
