Death Exempt

Abstain us from death's kiss

Free her from it’s violence

Silence met with silence

Silence met with silence

I’ll be hanging on the day you have something to say

Was this always the plan?

Oh, let us pray

She said “Let go of my hand”

If you’re leaving, I’ll follow you down

We’ve never been so damn close to the ground

I’m so sorry I wasn’t there

The sickness you couldn’t share

The verses they made us sing

Just to keep our souls from burning

When the color vanished from her eyes

Could you hear us screaming from the sky?

“Help us”

Deafening silence, bring us your light

Trade us a trivial plea for urgency

Microcosmic glass, pull out the shards

Just keep the word and have heart

Oh God, don’t let her die

Fall apart

Please, don’t let this love die

As above with a noose and silence

So below with my lovers hand

If I hang, I’ll be liberated

I can't live on with your fucking plan

I’ll be hanging on the day you have something to say

Silence met with silence

Silence met with silence

If this is how it has to be

Keep the word

Drag me down

Force me to breathe

I'll breath

She said “Let go of my hand”

If you’re leaving, I’ll follow you down

We’ve never been so damn close to the ground

I’m so sorry I wasn’t there

The sickness you couldn’t share

The verses they made us sing

Just to see you smiling again

It’s all irrelevant now

The highest of hymns came down

I’m sorry I let you go

But I am alive now

I am alive now

I am alive now

But I am alive now
