Necromancy ft. Shakina Nayfack & Wren Mied Lyrics

My mom's tryin' to be a necromancer

Unaware of the sacred ground on which she treads

She calls to the void but there's no answer

'Cause she invokes the name of a boy who's long been dead

I won't say that she's crazy but he's pushing up the daisies

And he has been for years

I beg her to let him lie to fall back and let him die

Each day that passes by, I sigh she seems unaware

The boy she used to know was never even there

My dad wants to raise the dead to living

With a sorcery that's been fueled by pure denial

The language he chants is unforgiving

While he ignores the kid that he has at their tight-lipped smile

I know it sounds dramatic, but his spells all sound like static

As they ring out in my ears

I beg him to let it go

To stick to the name I'll know

Let it go

Let it go

To move on and try to grow just so the truth gets laid bare

The truth gets laid bare

Gets laid bare

The boy he used to know

There is always some kind of cost for

Was never even there

Going against how things should be

So obsessed with what they have lost, they don't see that they're losing me

So afraid of what lies ahead they

Won't see what they're running from

They would sooner raise up the dead

Than admit I am who I've become

I beg them to just move on

He's dead but I'm not gone

The show's done, the curtains drawn, so long there's no more I swear

The boy you used to know

Was never even there is always some kind of cost

I beg for them to just forget

For going against how things should go

Necromancy has not worked yet

There's someone you haven't met, ready set, can no one let go

So obsessed with what they have lost, they don't see that they're losing me

Do they even know

They don't know

You don't even care

They don't care

The boy you used to love was never even there
