Canary in a Coal Mine

Canary in a Coal Mine By The Crane Wives

You and I are friends of empty graves, black air and black, black lungs

Am I the only thing that keeps you safe when the light is gone?

But I still hold out hope that maybe someday

I'll be worth more than all the silence left in my way

Feed me promises, keep my heart well

I'll sing you songs until the darkness does recede

But if in the end I lose my voice

Will you forget about your love for me?

But I still hold out hope that maybe someday

I'll be worth more than all the silence left in my way

And when you break the surface, oh, without me

Let the dirt hang heavy in your chest

Drag me deeper down the long, dark ground

Know that all my love will be your breath

I will save you when your lights go out

Please don't return me to the dark of all the memories, yeah

Please don't return me to the dark of all the memories, yeah

Please don't return me to the dark of all the memories, yeah

Please don't return me to the dark of all the memories, yeah

Please don't return me to the dark of all the memories, yeah

Please don't return me to the dark of all the memories, yeah

Please don't return me to the dark of all the memories, yeah

Please don't return me to the dark of all the memories, yeah

Please don't return me to the dark of all the memories, yeah

Please don't return me to the dark of all the memories, yeah

Please don't return me to the dark of all the memories, yeah

Please don't return me to the dark of all the memories, yeah

Please don't return me to the dark of all the memories, yeah

Please don't return me to the dark of all the memories, yeah

Please don't return me to the dark of all the memories, yeah
