[Verse 1] Chalk line circle Cheap red candle spit Mud on my knees Calling you like a bad habit Rotted roses Taped to a payphone cord I dial your grave Get static and the smell of the morgue [Chorus] Dead tongue dial tone You still answer anyway Mouth full of soil You got something sick to say Raise you wrong Drag you back in pieces Dead tongue dial tone Our love never really ceases [Verse 2] Black nail polish Chipped on the matchbook sigil Twitching shadows Crawl across motel initials Latin like gum Stuck under my teeth I chew through the curse Till your name starts to leak [Chorus] Dead tongue dial tone You still answer anyway Mouth full of soil You got something sick to say Raise you wrong Drag you back in pieces Dead tongue dial tone Our love never really ceases [Bridge] [Guitars drop to eerie clean Vocal half-whispered] You were hard to live with You’re harder to bury I stitch you in secrets Thread all tarry If you hate me now Scratch three times in my chest (if you hate me now) I’ll dig deeper than the rest [Chorus] Dead tongue dial tone You still answer anyway Mouth full of soil You got something sick to say Raise you wrong Drag you back in pieces Dead tongue dial tone Our love never really ceases
