about

“Crypt” is a pure tale of grudge. It is an open letter to someone you plan on never speaking to again because they are in fact, dead to you. It was the first song ever written by the band. It’s dark lyrics paired with a pop-driven instrumental make for a catchy, yet relatable overall song. Everyone knows someone who has done something unforgivable to them and this song is an anthem for those people.

lyrics

A stain you can't remove
Burning to the bone
Your intention set in stone
Intention set in stone

Your fingers lit with guilt
Brush through every silver strand
The blood that covers your hands
Blood that covers your hands

Something to say?
Well you can't

'Cause you might as well be, be dead to me
Might as well be, be dead to me

Yeah

The weight of truth is fierce
And the pain I carry with
But not as heavy as your myth
Not as heavy as your myth

The tangled web that you weave
Maybe it just comforts you
A disconnect you're used to
Disconnect you're used to

Something to say?
Well you can't

'Cause you might as well be, be dead to me
Might as well be, be dead to me

A tale from every crypt
Stories you deny
Laugh at all their ache
And hold yourself so high

But the joke's really on you
Sit and bide your time
Swallow down your key and find
That now you're stuck on the inside

Inside

'Cause you might as well be, be dead to me
Might as well be, be dead to me
