[Verse 1] I stole the book from the library vault It smelled like mold and teenage fault I lit the candles in my shed Used her bracelet to raise the dead I said her name, I spilled my blood The ground cracked open with a thud I thought she’d walk out soft and slow Instead, the graveyard said “Let’s go” [Hook] I wanted love, I got a plague They chewed through town like it was cake I screamed her name, they screamed back louder I ran through streets that smelled like chowder I locked the doors, I blocked the vents They broke through every barricade I tried to fix what I began They dragged me to the marching band [Verse 2] I made it back to high school gym The bleachers cracked, the lights went dim I saw her face behind the crowd She looked the same, just less allowed She didn’t speak, just held my hand I dropped the bat, forgot the plan She smiled like prom was still tonight I said, “Okay. Let’s do this right.” [Hook] I wanted love, I got a plague They chewed through town like it was cake I screamed her name, they screamed back louder I ran through streets that smelled like chowder I locked the doors, I blocked the vents They broke through every barricade I tried to fix what I began They dragged me to the marching band [Bridge] I closed my eyes, she kissed my cheek Her lips were cold, her breath was weak I felt my heartbeat start to slow She said, “You’re late.” I said, “I know.” I stopped resisting, she got closer I said, "Will we be together" She smiled; it was all i ever wanted. [Outro Hook] I wanted love, I got a plague They chewed through town like it was cake I screamed her name, they screamed back louder I ran through streets that smelled like chowder I locked the doors, I blocked the vents They broke through every barricade I tried to fix what I began They dragged me to the marching band
