[Verse 1] They tied our names in tape around the wrist The boiler groaned beneath the chapel floor You scraped your brother’s name from every list I watched his mouth keep working at the door [Pre-Chorus] No one was brave, just trained by fear Move the sheets, bleach the rail, check the lock We learned the dead can hold a name One second longer than the pulse [Chorus] Keep your name, keep your name, the apocalypse is here Keep your name, keep your name, don’t let it strip you clear Set your jaw and face the wall Hear the dead outside the hall If I have to lose you twice I’ll do it while you’re still inside (Keep your name, keep your name) (Keep your name, keep your name) [Verse 2] You pressed your house key hard into my palm The fever moved like wire beneath your skin You made me swear I’d snap your reaching arm Before I let that hunger settle in [Pre-Chorus] The room went small, the latch went cold You kept your breathing clean and slow No grand goodbye, just simple terms Use both hands when you let me go [Chorus] Keep your name, keep your name, the apocalypse is here Keep your name, keep your name, don’t let it strip you clear Set your jaw and face the wall Hear the dead outside the hall If I have to lose you twice I’ll do it while you’re still inside (Keep your name, keep your name) (Keep your name, keep your name) [Bridge] Shut it down, shut it down, chain the doors and seal the hall Shut it down, shut it down, if I slip don’t let me crawl [Final Chorus] Keep your name, keep your name, the apocalypse is here Keep your name, keep your name, don’t let it strip me clear Set your jaw and face the wall Hear the dead outside the hall If I have to lose you twice I’ll do it while you’re still inside (Keep your name, keep your name) (Keep your name, keep your name)
