[Verse 1] I keep my name in a bruise Under the tongue of the moon Mango skin on my hands But the fruit went black too soon I walked with death in my chain It never clinked, it just knew Mama said, "Boy, watch your shadow" Mine been hungry for you Old street dog in my chest Still sleeps on a broken roof Every promise I kissed Turned to smoke in my tooth I wear regret like cologne Heavy, warm, and true I smile for the boys outside Then I fold in the blue [Pre-Chorus] Tell me who I was Before the night got deep Tell me who I was When my heart still had sleep I see my younger face In the water, in the cut He said, "Don't let them take your fire" I said, "I already let it up" [Chorus] Coffin Palm, Coffin Palm I still hear it call Coffin Palm, Coffin Palm I was born to lose it all Gold on my scars Ash in my palms Coffin Palm, Coffin Palm I pray, then I fall [Verse 2] Cold coin in my mouth Like a truth I couldn't spend Every road that I loved Led me back to the end I kept a dead man's stare For the ones I let down Now the mirror don't judge me It just wears my crown The night got a velvet tongue Said, "Come back, come back" I followed that sound And it led me through the black Now I speak in symbols Broken drums, bent leaves If the soul is a house Mine got too many keys [Pre-Chorus] Tell me who I was Before the night got deep Tell me who I was When my heart still had sleep I see my younger face In the water, in the cut He said, "Don't let them take your fire" I said, "I already let it up" [Chorus] Coffin Palm, Coffin Palm I still hear it call Coffin Palm, Coffin Palm I was born to lose it all Gold on my scars Ash in my palms Coffin Palm, Coffin Palm I pray, then I fall [Bridge] If I die in the dark Let the dark know my name Not a saint, not a thief Just a man with a flame I can feel the goodbye Sitting close in my chest Still I dance with the grave Like a guest I won't rest [Chorus] Coffin Palm, Coffin Palm I still hear it call Coffin Palm, Coffin Palm I was born to lose it all Gold on my scars Ash in my palms Coffin Palm, Coffin Palm I pray, then I fall
