LYRICS:

[Verse 1]
The engine is cooling down, ticking like a clock.
Steam rising up from the twisted metal block.
I’m holding your hand, but the warmth is fading fast.
Just another beautiful thing that wasn't built to last.
The sirens are crying somewhere far away.
But they’re too late to save the day.

[Chorus]
It’s a burial of dreams on the side of the road.
Carrying the weight of a heavy load.
No choir, no preacher, no holy light.
Just two sinners in the middle of the night.
Sleep now, Lily. The show is done.
You finally stopped running from the gun.

[Verse 2]
I brush the hair away from your face.
Stuck in this god-forsaken place.
Mr. Gold can keep his contracts and his lies.
He can’t reach you now, no matter how he tries.
You paid the price, but you broke the chain.
Washed clean by the Tennessee rain.

[Bridge]
I promised I’d save you.
I promised I’d take you home.
I guess... I guess I lied.
Forgive me.

[Chorus]
It’s a burial of dreams on the side of the road.
Carrying the weight of a heavy load.
No choir, no preacher, no holy light.
Just two sinners in the middle of the night.
Sleep now, Lily. The show is done.
You finally stopped running from the gun.

[Outro]
Goodnight, Rose.
Goodnight.
