[Intro] [whispered female] I lay the roses on your name Teeth in my tongue Salt in the rain “rest in peace” You never got that [Verse 1] [shouted male] You went out like a car crash Glass in the sky Blood in the dash They said “gone to a better place” I saw dirt In your brother’s face [rasped female] They lit candles Spoke so soft But they left you When the lights shut off [Chorus] [shouted male] Rest in peace? You never rested You were fists You were questions [rasped female] Rest in pieces On this floor I pick you up I want you more [unison] If this is sleep Don’t close that door Rest in peace Or scream once more (scream once more) [Verse 2] [whispered female] I hear your voice in the hallway hum Half a word Then my body goes numb [whispered female] I hear your voice in the hallway hum Half a word Then my body goes numb [shouted male] I tear the frames from the drywall Your smile like a lie In a funeral hall [rasped female] They dressed you up In a borrowed suit But your heart beat wild In torn-up boots [shouted male] They said “move on” Like it’s that cheap How do I walk Where you still bleed? [Chorus] [shouted male] Rest in peace? You never rested You were storms You protested [rasped female] Rest in pieces Under my skin Every scar Where you get in [unison] If this is sleep I war with dreams Rest in peace Or claw and scream (claw and scream) [Bridge] [stop-start chugs Silence gaps] [whispered female] If I let you go Do I vanish too? [roared male] If you’re really gone Who am I talking to? [roared male] If you’re really gone Who am I talking to? [rasped female] If I say goodbye Does it break the spell? [shouted male] If love survives Then why this hell? [shouted male] —head inside my chest [rasped female] If you can’t stay [shouted male] I’ll learn to breathe [unison Escalating] I’ll hold your name And let you leave [Final Chorus] [shouted male] Rest in peace I choke Then choose it Hold your ghost But I cut it loose Yeah [rasped female] Rest in pieces I’ll set them free Build something bright From what you were to me [unison] If this is sleep Then dream in light Rest in peace I’ll live your fight [whispered female] “rest in peace” [shouted male] I’ll make it right
