lyrics

On our last night the air was sweet with your perfume
The shade of your mascara matched the night that we drove through
Every word it was rehearsed and every action was to blame
Your pale lips dropping hints that things would never be the same.

And I tried to cancel out the sound, the sirens songs are calling me into the ground
Take, Take my last request. Put out the fire burning deep inside my chest.

The air was cold, you could count my every breath.
Lost in silence from your eyes and your hands clinging to my chest
Digging deeper, digging deeper no more secrets you will find
My eyes were opened but my heart was growing blind.

And I tried to cancel out the sound, the sirens songs are calling me into the ground
Take, Take my last request. Put out the fire burning deep inside my chest.

I know, that we’ll, never find the words we’re longing to say
Before our time and all we love descends and passes us away
I’m clawing desperately to save my every breath, I’m finding the more I fight the more I seem to fall down.
Promise me tonight, if you find me, you’ll carry me back home.

And I tried to cancel out the sound, the sirens songs are calling me into the ground
Take, Take my last request. Put out the fire burning deep inside my chest.

And I tried to cancel out the sound, the sirens songs are calling me into the ground. (I’m clawing desperately to save my every breath, I’m finding the more I fight the more I seem to fall down.)

Take, Take my last request. Put out the fire burning deep inside my chest.(Promise me tonight, if you find me, you’ll carry me back home.)

You'll carry me back home.
