lyrics

pale blue gown
i’m barely dressed
ticking bomb
beats in my chest
if explode in a burst of red
promise me you’ll sing a song for the dead
and burn my bones

black half moons
under my eyes
tangled up
catheter lines
if i don't rise from this spiderweb
promise me you'll sing a song for the dead
and burn my bones

long black robe
can't see your face
tender voice
scythe out of place
if i don't wake from this hospital bed
promise me you'll sing a song for the dead
and burn my bones
