I Fell for Death

[VERSE 1] Everybody warned me, Said I should run. Said his hands carried midnight, Said his eyes swallowed suns. Said he walked through graveyards, Counting names in the rain. Said wherever he lingered, Someone vanished again. But I saw him standing At the edge of the crowd. While the living talked loudly, He was silent somehow. Like he'd seen every ending, Like he'd carried the weight. Of every goodbye Since the beginning of fate. [PRE-CHORUS] They were terrified. I was curious. They saw a monster. I saw loneliness. [CHORUS] And maybe I'm crazy... Maybe something's wrong. Cause I fell for the Reaper And I've known it all along. While the whole damn world Was learning how to run... I was learning every shadow, Every scar, Every secret he'd become. I fell for Death. And Death fell hard. [VERSE 2] His coat smelled like winter, Like smoke and old storms. Like forgotten prayers And abandoned homes. He knew every king. Every liar. Every saint. Every promise that survived. Every promise that ain't. And some nights he'd laugh, Like thunder breaking apart. Said: "Everybody wants forever... Until forever starts." I kissed him anyway. [CHORUS] And maybe I'm crazy... Maybe something's wrong. Cause I fell for the Reaper And I've known it all along. While the whole damn world Was learning how to run... I was learning every shadow, Every scar, Every secret he'd become. I fell for Death. And Death fell hard. [BRIDGE] Tell heaven don't wait. Tell hell not tonight. I've got my fingers tangled In the sleeve of the night. If the end comes tomorrow, Then let tomorrow begin. Cause I'd rather spend one lifetime With him... Than eternity without him. [FINAL CHORUS] Maybe I'm reckless. Maybe I'm gone. But the darkest heart I ever found Was the one that loved me all along. Now the bells still ring. The cold wind still starts. And somewhere in the darkness... The Reaper holds my heart. I fell for Death. And Death... Fell harder.
