Lyrics for Death Is Not A Costume

Try to get inside my head All the windows are painted shut Take your horse to my water to drink I'm not the gift that you think Cross my name off the devil's to-do list Burn every page in that little black book And we're praying it remains In the mouth of God You've got cracks in your magic Blood on your hands Cracks in your magic Blood on your hands I'm the one The one that you left behind Wish I knew you Knew you when you were alive It's not a costume It's not how I wanted to die It's not a costume It's not how I wanted to die Cross my name off the devil's to-do list Burn every page in that little black book And we're praying it remains In the mouth of God You've got cracks in your magic Blood on your hands Cracks in your magic Blood on your hands I'm the one The one that you left behind Wish I knew you Knew you when you were alive It's not a costume It's not how I wanted to die It's not a costume It's not how I wanted to die I'll break your sunshine To scare my shadow away I'll break your sunshine To scare my shadow away I'll break your sunshine To scare my shadow away I'll break your sunshine To scare my shadow away I'll break your sunshine To scare my shadow away I'm the one The one that you left behind Wish I knew you Knew you when you were alive It's not a costume It's not how I wanted to die It's not a costume It's not how I wanted to die I'll break your sunshine, I'll break your sunshine To scare my shadows away I'll break your sunshine, I'll break your sunshine To scare my shadow away
