Intro:
Blake Speaks:
I tell you this
because as an artist
I think you'll understand
then
Verse 1:
I'll be quiet
to keep you quiet
Don't concern yourself
with my slow dying
Through the vents
I hear you sigh
I don't get too
high these days
Your floor
is my ceiling
Lights out
you can't come in
Refrain:
If you don't remind me
I won't forget you
If you don't ask
I won't upset you, I am-
Chorus 1:
-jet black
I am stone cold
Jet black to the center
Funny like a funeral
I need you to bury me
Post Chorus: G#m--A-- x2
Verse 2:
White noise in
black room dust
These hands long
for one last touch
Hourglass all
out of trust
I don't scratch
so I won't itch
I don't reach
so I won't miss
I taste our last kiss
(Repeat Refrain)
(Repeat Chorus 1)
Bridge:
This is the cure the
same as the symptom
Simple and pure
break to keep fixing
Patiently nurse
patient and nurse
This is the part
I wouldn't show you
The part where you say
"I don't even know you"
This is your cue
Be glad it's through
I am-
Chorus 2:
-jet black
I am stone cold
Jet black to the center
Funny like a funeral
I need you to bury me
