  Bm
Excuse me for a minute
         A
'Cause this won't be brief
      G
I've been hiding these words
Bm                   A
Under my tongue, protected
        G
By the walls of my yellow-stained teeth

They've festered and broken
And they've rearranged
They've misspelled themselves
And now they're leaking out of my brain

They say ashes to ashes
And dust to dust
But my heart's made of metal
And the clasp's rusted shut
'Cause you left it out in the rain

Chorus:
        Bm
And if these are the last breaths
      A
I'm breathing on Earth
      G
Then I pray to God
       Bm     A
You remember me when
    G
My body is deep in the Earth

My back's ached for years
Carrying my heavy heart
It beats itself silly
And pounds through the dark
Sustaining a life that lives within

And yet was so desperate
To beat in time
It rang in your rhythm
And mimicked your rhyme

You can't blame it for trying
Or clinging to love
But love's left my soul
And I've forgotten love
And what's left is your smoky silhouette

Chorus:
But if these are the last breaths
I'm breathing on Earth
Then I pray to God
You remember me
When my body is deep in the Earth

These are the last breaths
I'm breathing on Earth
Then I pray to God
You remember me
When my body is deep in the Earth
