Grave of the Girl Who Lied

Verse 1

Iron gates and ivy vines

I left your ashes at the stone

You wore a mask of borrowed light

And sold me lies down to the bone

Verse 2

You promised warmth and gave me frost

Your tongue turned every word to dust

Now the mist is lifting slow

I count the graves of what I trusted

Chorus

Rest now restless heart

Let the hollow bells ring true

I'm done carving out my soul

For a ghost who never knew

Verse 3

You built a kingdom from my fears

Then burned the map and called it love

I stumbled blind through all those years

Beneath a sky that gave no shove

Verse 4

The devaluation tolls at dawn

You sang my praises then you lied

But I dug my body out

And learned to walk on my own side

Chorus

Rest now restless heart

Let the hollow bells ring true

I'm done carving out my soul

For a ghost who never knew

Bridge

The candles gutted in the hall

The organ hums its final chord

I'm not the man you left for dead

I'm rising up and heading north

Chorus

Rest now restless heart

Let the hollow bells ring true

I'm done carving out my soul

For a ghost who never knew
