Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She keeps a key beneath the stone
Where dead leaves gather by the gate
The chapel clock has lost its hands
Still she comes there, and she stands

[Pre-Chorus]
Every name carved in the rain
Sounds like the voice inside her brain

[Chorus]
Graveyard girl, don’t close your eyes
There’s a crack of morning in the sky
Though your demons know your name
They don’t get to keep you in the grave
Graveyard girl, reach through the night
There is still a road that leads to light

[Verse 2]
She wears her mother’s silver ring
And counts the steps back to the road
The iron angels watch her pass
While every buried fear takes hold

[Pre-Chorus]
She tells the dark, “You’ve had your say”
Then lifts her face and turns away

[Chorus]
Graveyard girl, don’t close your eyes
There’s a crack of morning in the sky
Though your demons know your name
They don’t get to keep you in the grave
Graveyard girl, reach through the night
There is still a road that leads to light

[Bridge]
If I can’t run, I’ll crawl
If I can’t pray, I’ll call
Somewhere beyond these stones
A door is waiting open

[Final Chorus]
Graveyard girl, keep your eyes wide
Let the first pale morning find your side
Though your demons know your name
They don’t get to keep you in the grave
Graveyard girl, step into the light
You were never meant to haunt this night

[Outro]
She leaves the key beneath the stone
And takes the road that leads her home
