Never let go

Intro

Eyes snap open as the light buzzes black

Gurney wheels creak as I slide off the track

Body feels hollow, my pulse whisper thin

Breath tastes like metal where the endings begin

Verse 0

Hands reaching in as my vision turns red

Tube in my ear where my memories bled

Float above skin while the air canoe moans

Graveyard voices chant bone-chilling tones

Pre-Chorus

Aches in places death alone can touch

Syrup summer dripping hush

Mind stuck spinning never let go

Body and soul in their split echo

Verse 1

Slid me onto the slab all hollow and cold

Needles press in then the black syrup flows

Eardrum pops loose rides my air canoe

Watch the surgeons stitch me while the world turns blue

Blood leaking slow from my stiffening limbs

They scrape, pull, dress me for my burial hymn

Can’t scream though my mind’s still burning in place

Dead behind glass as they cover my face

Pre-Chorus

Syrup drip from the wounds

Skin raw and I swoon

Headlight eyes flicker gone

Soul gasping too soon

Chorus

Honey ride of the dead feel the skin peel slow

Eardrums dissolve in the blackest flow

Under waxen lights where the last spasm pounds

Cemetery starts laughing when they lower you down

Post-Chorus

Trip trip trip to the ground

Trip trip trip to the ground

Verse 2

Formaldehyde rush now pulsing in veins

Post-mortem visions set the walls all aflame

Dragged through funerals where the same face grins

Every shovel cracks memories under my skin

Pre-Chorus

Orb soul drifting far from the pain

Dead head figment stuck in the grave

Bones honeycomb as they sing my name

I rot awake but my mind remains

Chorus

Honey ride of the dead feel the skin peel slow

Eardrums dissolve in the blackest flow

Under waxen lights where the last spasm pounds

Cemetery starts laughing when they lower you down

Post-Chorus

Trip trip trip to the ground

Trip trip trip to the ground

Bridge

Sticky hum in my chest, flowers wilt by my head

Worms crawling slow in the pain I’m fed

Mourners mouths move but I can’t make the sound

Buried in honey while my nightmares resound

Verse 3

Scenes replay flicker—death on a loop

Phantom hands clutch at my empty suit

Skin sloughs off as my vision gets sweet

Eardrum syrup pooling under silk sheets

Pre-Chorus

Nothing left to forget, nothing left to feel

Soul orb spinning on gravity’s wheel

Figment in the coffin, head caught in between

Knowing everything, stuck in this obscene

Chorus

Honey ride of the dead feel the skin peel slow

Eardrums dissolve in the blackest flow

Under waxen lights where the last spasm pounds

Cemetery starts laughing when they lower you down

Post-Chorus

Trip trip trip to the ground

Trip trip trip to the ground

Outro

Honey pools in my hollowed-out skull

Dreams curdle slow as the casket gets dull

Every nerve sparks in that sugar decay

Mind stuck awake while my body gives way

Grave dirt presses down—sweet on my brain

Below the roots where the madness reigns

I’m a drip in the darkness, a pulse in the ground

Spirit spinning silent, never found

Post-Chorus

Trip trip trip to the ground

Trip trip trip to the ground

Trip trip trip to the ground
