[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Lo and behold

Ball away like
cold
Under graceles

Now and before
I pass
Like some old
returning ghos

Lend to me you

[Instrumental]
[Verse 2]
Pressed to the
wakin’ walls
Like some wayw
ard kind
Summoned by so
me hollow, was
ted mind
Stark in my na
ked pose
With your arms
upon my sides
Lend to me you
r hallowed gaz
e tonight
[Verse 3]

Now that I'm n

And my blood i

Flowing from t

Braved by your
heart’s resol

And my body's
endless toil
Lead me in you

Slow, slight
Close and insp

You spark some
great fire
And hang it fr
om my coatless
frame tonight

For your still

And here's to
sticking finge
rs in our ears
They said we’d
have a couple
years
You're dead on
paper, but he

here
Flash the wic
ked bumps with
killer stares
Say "I'm not f
ighting you fo

Don’t call me
dead, ‘cause h

Fight, like e
very breath in
you's a strik

From some grea
t fighter in t
he sky
Oh, and breath
e abundantly t
onight
Dance atop the
grave that ha
s your name
For what it's
worth, I'll do
the same
Oh, oh. oh, oh
, oh
