lyrics

Though you are six feet beneath us now, I swear that I can hear you breathe. It sounds so sweet, almost like a song you used to sing, “...I’m afraid, I’m afraid.” So, what is the distance between heaven and the blood in your brain? Which one is taking you away?

If my body is merely a vessel for a soul, then why do I feel meaning in these bones?

Now as you lie safe inside the ground beneath our feet, we were wrong to think that you were ever ours to keep. So, we made a place for you deep inside our chests for you to grow...

You see, I once dreamt I was there the day you died, watching as they carried you away. It was all so real and some nights I can’t sit still for the sound of the sirens echoing through my head, knowing that they are all for you.

Now as you lie safe inside the ground beneath our feet, we were wrong to think that you were ever ours to keep. So, we made a place for you deep inside our chests for you to grow and breathe and live again.
