[Verse 1] I inch toward the ground My eyes on your stone Finbar, I can’t look away My knees hit cold and bone Hands in the dirt Earth fills my fists I dig like I can pull you back From this black abyss [Pre-Chorus] One more handful One more lie I swear I saw you In the corner of my eye Then my arm stops Frozen midair Like the grave itself Is catching my prayer [Chorus] You said stay alive Stay alive for me You said stay alive So why can’t I breathe? Stay alive for me Stay alive for me I’m screaming your name At the root of the tree [Verse 2] The clod leaves my hand Hits your name in the rain I stare at the crack And I taste my own pain What am I doing? What am I doing? My throat goes raw My whole world split-viewing I came with my rage I came with my cry But the dirt on your stone Feels like a final goodbye [Pre-Chorus] One more handful One more lie I swear I saw you In the corner of my eye Then my arm stops Frozen midair Like the grave itself Is catching my prayer [Chorus] You said stay alive Stay alive for me You said stay alive So why can’t I breathe? Stay alive for me Stay alive for me I’m screaming your name At the root of the tree [Bridge] If I could claw time open I would split the night Drag your shadow back Drag it into light But your silence answers Harder than steel And my tears hit the ground Like the truth I feel [Breakdown] What am I doing? What am I doing? You said you would stay alive for me Stay alive for me Stay alive for me [Final Chorus] You said stay alive Stay alive for me You said stay alive So why can’t I breathe? Stay alive for me Stay alive for me I’m screaming your name At the root of the tree
