Lyrics

[Intro]
Death is life, is death, is life, is death, is life, is
[Verse 1]
They're carving my name in the grave again
The flowers are fresh and their faces wet
My body has died, but I'm still alive
Look over your shoulder, I'm back from the dead
[Verse 2]
Lighting all your candles to draw me in
Saying all the same things, I'm gone this time
Your words mean nothing, so take 'em back
And meet me here across the plane
The other side, I'm not far
[PreChorus]
When you aren't around, I sink into the ground
I try to pretend I'm closer to you
Never understand it
You're always on my mind, I cannot help it
[PreChorus]
I don't wanna be carrying the weight on my shoulders
Death has come to me, kissed me on the cheek, gave me closure
Immortal by design
I'll be meeting you here every time
[Chorus]
Back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead, back from the—
I'm back
[Bridge]
I'm back
[Verse 3]
They're sayin' my name in their prayers again
I flicker the lights so they understand
I won't say goodbye, I'm right by your side
We're screaming and pleading, this separation ends
[Verse 4]
Doing all your witchcraft to pull me in
Burning all your sage to connect our line
I show my presence, you run away in fear of ghosts
I try to talk, the barriers are too strong
[PreChorus]
When you aren't around, I sink into the ground
I try to pretend, I'm closer to you
Never understand it
You're always on my mind, I cannot help it
[PreChorus]
I don't wanna be carrying the weight on my shoulders
Death has come to me, kissed me on the cheek, gave me closure
Immortal by design
I'll be meeting you here every time
[Chorus]
Back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
[Bridge]
Please don't ever worry
I know it's morbid
But we all die one day
[Outro]
I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead, back from the dead
I'm back from the dead, back from the—
I'm back
