If I Go Before You

If I go before you, if the fire burns out

If the shadows envelope this house

Our souls take a slow dance, but in reverse

I carved with my hands, a sepulcher

Maybe we'll burn in the middle

Stay with me a little bit longer

If I ever loved you

I'd spend all my days memorizing the lines in your face

And I promise to keep you, and the life that we've made

This love eternally resonates

I let it bury me in the same way you remember

Paradise is weaved into your hands

There's room for me when I can't stand on my own

Amber eyes will guide me home

You painted our last sunset in sepia

Composed of our hopes and dreams

Flowing through my stream of consciousness and this disease

If I go before you, if the fire burns out

If the shadows envelope this house
