Names I Buried Twice
TitanChord
Intro
Verse 1
There's three of them I see at night
Every one I buried right
Took the shovel, took the time
Walked away without the rhyme
Pre-Chorus
But the dirt don't stay where I left it
And the wind keeps speaking back
And the ground don't keep what's in it
And the years don't fill the crack
Chorus
Names I buried twice, names I buried twice
Once in the dark and once in my head
Once with a spade and a borrowed prayer
Once when I sleep and they ain't dead
Verse 2
Charlie was the easy one
Lit a cigarette when it was done
Tom took longer, took the south road
Took a piece of me he never showed
Pre-Chorus
But the dirt don't stay where I left it
And the wind keeps speaking back
And the ground don't keep what's in it
And the years don't fill the crack
Chorus
Names I buried twice, names I buried twice
Once in the dark and once in my head
Once with a spade and a borrowed prayer
Once when I sleep and they ain't dead
Bridge
Some folks pray and the dead stay still
Some folks pray and the silence kills
Some folks bury and walk away
I keep burying every single day
Names I buried twice, names I buried twice
Once in the dark and once in my head
Once with a spade and a borrowed prayer
Once when I sleep and they ain't dead
Once when I sleep and they ain't dead
