Hem - Walking Past The Graveyard, Not Breathing lyrics

Walking past the graveyard
We’re holding in our breaths
It’s a long way to the corner
Trying not to wake the guests inside the
Rows of Mausoleums
The gate with iron wings -
They are there though we can’t see them
As the breath inside is burning
Til the games we play as children
Come to harden into bone
Running from this city made of stone

I’m walking past the graveyard -
May the breath inside me stay -
As I stumble out the barroom
Or I’m face down in the hallway
Where the games we played as children
Keep us safe when we’re alone
Hiding from this city made of stone

I’m walking past the graveyard -
Another year has passed
And this breath that I’ve been holding
Is rising up at last until
It burns through all the sadness
As breath just wants to spill
But, if I’m breathing then I’m talking
Then I’m kneeling on a hill and saying

How I miss you how I miss you
How I miss you still
