Canary In a Coal Mine lyrics

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? Oh 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 Oh 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
