The markets closed by noon

[Verse 1]
The market’s closed by noon
Tape on every door
Fresh fruit on the curb
And nobody wants more

My phone just keeps on buzzing
With the same red sign
Wash your hands again
Then wash your hands tonight

[Pre-Chorus]
They said stay inside
Lock the breath away
But I hear the hall
With the footsteps of the day

[Chorus]
Plague bell, ring for me
Plague bell, set us free
Count the fever lines
Count the days we lose
Plague bell, ring for me
Plague bell, after me
(After me) (after me)
We were never built to choose

[Verse 2]
Hospitals glow white
Like paper in the rain
Doctors in their shields
Walk through the fever train

My neighbor bangs the wall
Then drops into the dark
A baby starts to cry
From two floors past the park

[Pre-Chorus]
They say keep your distance
Say don’t touch the door
But every throat I know
Keeps asking for some more

[Chorus]
Plague bell, ring for me
Plague bell, set us free
Count the fever lines
Count the days we lose
Plague bell, ring for me
Plague bell, after me
(After me) (after me)
We were never built to choose

[Bridge]
When the sirens fade
And the windows frost
Will you call my name
For the ones we lost?

I held my breath too long
I learned the shape of fear
If this is the end
Then let it end right here

[Final Chorus]
Plague bell, ring for me
Plague bell, set us free
Count the fever lines
Count the days we lose
Plague bell, ring for me
Plague bell, after me
(After me) (after me)
We were never built to choose

[Outro]
Ring it low
Ring it slow
Hold the line
Let it go
