Intro
Yeah… same chat, different casket…
Verse 1
Phone light hit the ceiling at three in the morning Same three words, pinned location, funeral home on Torrance I’m already ironing the shirt grandma pressed last month Little cousins asking why everybody dressed in black again We load the car like it’s automatic, no discussion Repass plates stacked in the trunk, same mac and cheese, same confusion Auntie on the speakerphone giving directions like it’s new But we all know the route, we done wore it out, same pew
Pre-chorus
Group chat quiet till the bad news drop Then it light up like a Christmas tree that never stop We only link when it’s black, never when it’s bright Same faces, different service every other night
Chorus
We only link up when it’s black Same chat, different casket Repass plates, same plastic forks and laughter that don’t last We only link up when it’s black Pray the young ones make it back But the chat stay silent till another name attached
Verse 2
I scroll through the eulogy while the preacher talking Thinking ’bout the jokes we cracked in the group chat while we walking Little bro asking if heaven got Wi-Fi, I ain’t got the heart to lie So I just nod and check the thread, see who reacted with the cry emoji Guilt sit heavy in the third row, suit a little tighter every time I’m here but I’m not, mind drifting to the next repass line We laugh too loud at the repast like it’s the only time we safe Then go back to scrolling, waiting on the next update
Pre-chorus
Group chat quiet till the bad news drop Then it light up like a Christmas tree that never stop We only link when it’s black, never when it’s bright Same faces, different service every other night
Chorus
We only link up when it’s black Same chat, different casket Repass plates, same plastic forks and laughter that don’t last We only link up when it’s black Pray the young ones make it back But the chat stay silent till another name attached
Verse 3
Cousin twelve posting gun emojis in the chat again Auntie typing “he grieving” while the uncles typing “he headed down the same road, man” Block lost three this summer, same corner store, same candlelight Same group chat full of “RIP” and then radio silence by midnight Grandma say the devil busy, I say the system busy too Either way the chairs keep filling, same suits, same shoes We talk about the cycle but nobody ever break it Just post another location when the next one get taken
Bridge
Grandma finally said it last Sunday after the last one Tired of burying babies, tired of the same damn run Said “y’all only come together when the flowers in the ground” Then she cried in the kitchen, first time I seen her break down
Verse 4
Pallbearer gloves still in the glovebox from the one in March Little cousin asked me if it hurt when they close the dark I told him yeah but you get used to it, then hated how it sounded ’Cause I ain’t used to nothing, just numb and still surrounded Chat got a new thread for the next one, same old pain Same old jokes to cover up the silence in between
Verse 5
No happy ending, just another notification Phone buzz at 2 AM, same three words, same location We dress up, we show up, we eat, we go home Chat goes quiet… till the next one Same chat, different casket We only link when it’s black
Chorus
We only link up when it’s black Same chat, different casket Repass plates, same plastic forks and laughter that don’t last We only link up when it’s black Pray the young ones make it back But the chat stay silent… till another name attached
