Lyrics
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Two of us knelt in the weeds and the rain,
one for the rot and one for the flame.
We braided our magic to cheat the last breath,
asked for forever, and forever said yes.
[Pre-Chorus]
But forever ain't a mercy, it's a sentence with no door,
and the thing that climbed back up that hill, it wasn't us no more.
[Chorus]
You can bury what I am, I'll be standing when it clears,
I kept every cut you gave me, I have held them all these years.
Lay me down and I get up, a little taller than before,
I'm the grave that learned to walk, and I am hungry for one more.
[Verse 2]
There's two of us still arguing inside this rotting frame,
the elementalist remembers, the necromancer takes the blame.
We wanted to be deathless, well, no part of us can die,
so we carry one another, and we never close our eyes.
[Pre-Chorus]
You can't take back what's marked me, you can't strip away the score,
every soul I walk on over only adds a little more.
[Chorus]
You can bury what I am, I'll be standing when it clears,
I kept every cut you gave me, I have held them all these years.
Lay me down and I get up, a little taller than before,
I'm the grave that learned to walk, and I am hungry for one more.
[Bridge]
Did we win? — We never lose.
Are we free? — We never were.
We asked the dark to keep us,
and the dark, it kept its word.
[Final Chorus]
So bury what I am, I'll be standing when it clears,
I have kept the weight of everyone, and I'll keep it all my years.
Knock me down into the dirt, I come up asking for one more,
I'm the walking grave, the debt that grows, and I have never once been full.
[Outro]
A little taller than before.
