Courtney Chang - Deep In the Earth lyrics

[Verse 1] Excuse me for a minute 'Cause this won't be brief I've been hiding these words Under my tongue, protected By the walls of my yellow-stained teeth [Verse 2] They've festered and broken And they've rearranged They've misspelled themselves And now they're leaking out of my brain [Verse 3] 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 1] And 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 [Verse 4] 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 [Verse 5] And yet was so desperate To beat in time It rang in your rhythm And mimicked your rhyme [Verse 6] 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 2] 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 [Chorus 3] 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
