Graveyard

Halsey

It’s crazy when

The thing you love the most is the detriment

Let that sink in

You can think again

When the hand you wanna hold is a weapon and

You’re nothin’ but skin

Oh, ’cause I keep diggin’ myself down deeper

I won’t stop ’til I get where you are

I keep running, I keep running, I keep running

They say I may be making a mistake

I woulda followed all the way, no matter how far

I know when you go down all your darkest roads

I woulda followed all the way to the graveyard

Oh, ’cause I keep diggin’ myself down deeper

I won’t stop ’til I get where you are

I keep running when both my feet hurt

I won’t stop ’til I get where you are

Oh, when you go down all your darkest roads

I woulda followed all the way to the graveyard (No, oh)

You look at me (Look at me)

With eyes so dark, don’t know how you even see

You push right through me (Push right through me)

It’s gettin’ real

You lock the door, you’re drunk at the steering wheel

And I can’t conceal

Oh, ’cause I’ve been diggin’ myself down deeper

I won’t stop ’til I get where you are

I keep running, I keep running, I keep running

They say I may be making a mistake

I woulda followed all the way, no matter how far

I know when you go down all your darkest roads

I woulda followed all the way to the graveyard

Review

As the newest single from her upcoming album Manic, singer/songwriter Halsey’s “Graveyard” is a return to her roots. The song finds her expressing her strong devotion to a relationship that everyone, including the singer herself, knows to be inappropriate and dangerous. It creates a mix of both excitement and dread with low keyboard, staccato clapping, and gentle guitar all layered beneath Halsey’s distinctive voice that both belts the ballad at points, while nearly whispering little revelations at others.
