Canary In A Coal Mine

(Album: The Fool In Her Wedding Gown - 2012)

You and I are friends of empty graves, black air and black, black lungs
Am I the only thing that keeps you safe when the light is gone?

Ohhhh...

But I still hold out hope that maybe someday
I'll be worth more than all the silence left in my way

Feed me promises, keep my heart well
I'll sing you songs until the darkness does recede
But if in the end I lose my voice
Will you forget about your love for me?

But I still hold out hope that maybe someday
I'll be worth more than all the silence left in my way
And when you break the surface oh without me
Please don't return me to the dark of all the memories, yes

Ohhh...

Let the dirt hang heavy in your chest
Drag me deeper down the long, dark ground
Know that all my love will be your breath
I will save you when your lights go out
