Coffin Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Take your crosses
I'll live without them
Standing wet in holy rain
When you were baptized
Ignored the problem
That's when I watched you seal your grave

[Pre-Chorus]
I tried to save you
But let you drink the pain
A final song now we both know
So I'm not givin' up
Won't let you suffocate me
You find your hell is home

[Chorus]
I don't owe you anything
You'll only die a dream forgotten
I've got my pride so hear me sing
I'll never let you steal my coffin


[Verse 2]
Words as weapons
Pierce into you
So self-righteous, have it your way
I'm alive and now I'm burning
Say a prayer to end today
[Pre-Chorus]
I tried to save you
But let you drink the pain
A final song now we both know
So I'm not givin' up
Won't let you suffocate me
You find your hell is home

[Chorus]
I don't owe you anything
You'll only die a dream forgotten
I've got my pride so hear me sing
I'll never let you steal my coffin

[Bridge]
I won't let you steal my after life
I won't let you steal my after life
So I'm not givin' up
Won't let you suffocate me
You find your hell is home

[Chorus]
I don't owe you anything
You'll only die a dream forgotten
I've got my pride so hear me sing
I'll never let you steal my coffin
I don't owe you anything
You'll only die a dream forgotten
I've got my pride so hear me sing
I'll never let you steal my coffin

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
