Down in Sheol

(Verse 1) Hello… you crow, dressed in black velvet sorrow why you moving so low, so slow, like you’re waiting for tomorrow to never come mirror eyes — you’re here but you ain’t alive you drink from every poison just to feel the night (Pre-Chorus) You say you’re fine, but your heartbeat’s gone silent like a church bell before the sirens I can hear it in your breath… you gave up long before death (Chorus) Fallen in a hole, down in Sheol you left your body, but you still roam no self-control, a hollow soul you keep searching for a place called “home” but you don’t know you’re already gone down… down… down in Sheol (Verse 2) Cigarettes burn like prayer candles but nothing answers you back you wear your sadness like a fur coat heavy, cold, and black I touch your hand — you feel like winter in July you say “I’m here,” but it’s a lie (Pre-Chorus) You stare at heaven like you’re banned from the gate and you say, “I’m not dead, just a little too late” Oh darling, how much can a heart take? (Chorus) Fallen in a hole, down in Sheol you left your body, but you still roam no self-control, a hollow soul you keep searching for a place called “home” but you don’t know you’re already gone down… down… down in Sheol (Bridge — whispered / dramatic) If you want to leave this place look at me take my hand say my name remember who you were before the flames (Final Chorus — softer at first, then big) Fallen in a hole, down in Sheol you left your body, but you still roam no self-control, a hollow soul but I won’t let you face the dark alone If you don’t know your way back home I’ll go with you down… down… down in Sheol
