Afterlife
People only ever write the nicest things on headstones
Turn all the dirty secrets and the bad blood back to dust
A lover's graveyard is nothing but a patch of pretty lies
And when it's dark it can trick your mind
The moonlight pulls you in just like the waves up to the shoreline
'Cause sorrow thins the veil between the madness and the truth
You're haunting hallowed places just to search for signs of life
'Cause when it's dark it can trick your mind
So darling don't go digging up graves
When love is lost the afterlife is a choice you gotta make
So put the nails in the coffin, let them rust in place
But darling don't go digging up graves
You're drifting through the lonely and the hurt like cigarette smoke
Ungrounded and unflinching like it's all just fever dreams
You're reaching out at shadows that can't bring the past to life
'Cause when it's dark it can trick your mind
So darling don't go digging up graves
When love is lost the afterlife is a choice you gotta make
So put the nails in the coffin, let them rust in place
But darling don't go digging up graves
Can you make it 'till the light, close your eyes against the night
The waking from this sleep is slow, but the hardest part is letting go
So darling don't go digging up graves
When love is lost the afterlife is a choice you gotta make
So put the nails in the coffin, let them rust in place
But darling don't, darling don't go digging up graves
Turn all the dirty secrets and the bad blood back to dust
A lover's graveyard is nothing but a patch of pretty lies
And when it's dark it can trick your mind
The moonlight pulls you in just like the waves up to the shoreline
'Cause sorrow thins the veil between the madness and the truth
You're haunting hallowed places just to search for signs of life
'Cause when it's dark it can trick your mind
So darling don't go digging up graves
When love is lost the afterlife is a choice you gotta make
So put the nails in the coffin, let them rust in place
But darling don't go digging up graves
You're drifting through the lonely and the hurt like cigarette smoke
Ungrounded and unflinching like it's all just fever dreams
You're reaching out at shadows that can't bring the past to life
'Cause when it's dark it can trick your mind
So darling don't go digging up graves
When love is lost the afterlife is a choice you gotta make
So put the nails in the coffin, let them rust in place
But darling don't go digging up graves
Can you make it 'till the light, close your eyes against the night
The waking from this sleep is slow, but the hardest part is letting go
So darling don't go digging up graves
When love is lost the afterlife is a choice you gotta make
So put the nails in the coffin, let them rust in place
But darling don't, darling don't go digging up graves
