Funeral Beat

[Verse 1]

Keep a picture of her smile I no longer see

There's a space in your bed now

Keep it warm for me

All the signs told you stop

But you would not stop

And my hands begged you stay

While my mouth said go

I know you've got your demons

But I've got my own

So I'll keep you at a distance

While I hold you close

You love is the only

Fix you need

Though I'm broken I'll still break you

Don't ask it of me

It's hard to breath

With these words in my mouth

With your lips on my own

I can't get them out

[Pre-Chorus]

You draw maps I [rightless?] redraw the space

Watch the lines of your lips erased retraced

Send my eyes held your gaze

When yours saw me out

Keep [a look locked away?]

Till it flickers out

[Chorus]

It's hard to breathe

With these words in my mouth

With your lips on my own

I can't get them out

And it's hard to breathe

With these words in my mouth

With your lips on my skin

I can't get them out

[Post-Chorus]

Sunday best and rouge your cheeks as

Lipstick left where lips have been

Our hearts step to a funeral beat

There's a cooling board where this bed should be

So lay me down and cover me, oh

Lay me down and cover me

Flesh for flesh and cheek to cheek, oh

Lay me down and cover me

[Chorus/Outro]

It's hard to breathe

(Sunday best and rouge your cheeks as)

With these words in my mouth

(Lipstick left where lips have been)

With your lips on my own

(Our hearts step to a funeral beat)

I can't get them out

(There's a cooling board where this bed should be)

It's hard to breathe

(Sunday best and rouge your cheeks as)

With these words in my mouth

(Lipstick left where lips have been)

With your lips on my own

(Our hearts step to a funeral beat)

I can't get them out

(To a funeral beat)
