death is not a costume

Death Is Not A Costume

Try to get inside my head
All the windows are painted shut
Take your horse to my water to drink
I’m not the gift that you think

Cross my name off the devil’s to-do list
Burn every page in that little black book
And we’re praying it remains in the mouth of God

You’ve got cracks in your magic
Blood on your hands

Cracks in your magic
Blood on your hands

I’m the one
The one that you left behind
Wish I knew you
Knew you when you were alive
It’s not a costume
It’s not how I wanted to die
It’s not a costume
It’s not how I wanted to die

Cross my name off the devil’s to-do list
Burn every page in that little black book
And we’re praying it remains in the mouth of God

You’ve got cracks in your magic
Blood on your hands

Cracks in your magic
Blood on your hands

I’m the one
The one that you left behind
Wish I knew you
Knew you when you were alive
It’s not a costume
It’s not how I wanted to die
It’s not a costume
It’s not how I wanted to die

I’ll break your sunshine
To scare my shadow away

I’ll break your sunshine
To scare my shadow away

I’ll break your sunshine
To scare my shadow away

I’ll break your sunshine
To scare my shadow away

I’ll break your sunshine
To scare my shadow away

I’m the one
The one that you left behind
Wish I knew you
Knew you when you were alive
It’s not a costume
It’s not how I wanted to die
It’s not a costume
It’s not how I wanted to die

I’ll break your sunshine
I’ll break your sunshine
To scare my shadow away

I’ll break your sunshine
I’ll break your sunshine
To scare my shadow away
