Lyrics

I kept your name
Like a sliver in ash
Hot in my palm
Teething the past

The room held its breath
When the drape gave way
I heard it in my bones

Cause the dark had a pulse
And a patient hand
All my bent-black years
Started to understand

I love the hush before the end
I love it when it leans in close
It turns my veins to candle wax
And puts a bloom inside the smoke
I love the hush before the end
(black veil bloom)
It is so strange and bright
It is so strange and bright

I watched the moon
On a split white wall
Like a traced-out code
Learning how to fall

Every beat kept saying
You’re a half-closed door
Even the grave
Keeps a softer floor

So I leaned toward
Where the black air thins
Found a paper crown
In the seam of in-betweens

I love the hush before the end
I love it when it leans in close
It turns my veins to candle wax
And puts a bloom inside the smoke
I love the hush before the end
(black veil bloom)
It is so strange and bright
It is so strange and bright

I love the hush before the end
I love it when it leans in close
It turns my veins to candle wax
And puts a bloom inside the smoke
I love the hush before the end
(black veil bloom)
It is so strange and bright
It is so strange and bright
