Conclave

Your shadow, it used to be near me
Say my love, I can picture you down here, in a haze
Talking out loud, the nights could be weary
Oh, but we were just kids
And now I can't get you out alive

Tell me, will I see you in the afterlife?
Shooting my guns at everyone
Telling myself it's hardly worth drinking here alone
'Cause you never hold me through my darkest nights
But I would love you anyway, even in the afterlife

The silence is creeping in slowly, a fade out
The water, it was keeping me holy, as I wait
How long have I got to walk alone?
'Cause it's not getting any easier
And now I feel like I'm paralyzed

Tell me, will I see you in the afterlife?
Shooting my guns at everyone
Telling myself it's hardly worth drinking here alone
Because you never hold me through my darkest nights
But I would love you anyway, even in the afterlife

(Whatever you try to control, will eventually elude you)

It's funny how the cold earth shakes
Does it matter if we can't escape?
I guess it's harder just to live with your mistakes
If there's nowhere else to run

Why don't you save yourself?
I hope you never have to learn the hard way

'Cause you never hold me through my darkest nights
But I would love you anyway, even in the afterlife
