For Absence
05:11
|
|||
You left this place
Without a trace
Of purpose
Reflect the night
On what went wrong
You used to incubate your bad ideas
And raise them strong
For years
In my dreams
I see your face
And every night before I wake and find
That you're not here
It's painful
When the time arrives
In my sleep
I grab a hold of what I can't forget
And hold it close to me
Goodbye
Im struggling to find
A reason not to miss you
As your shadow turns away
I can't hold on to this
Dream of mine

The Hourglass
10:26
|
|||
You never thought you'd see
The glass of sand
Standing over your life
You try to grab the time
And feel what's left
Sifting right through your hands
Fade out
Your time
Incased by
The hourglass
As the sands divide
You see your ending
Of grains piling as memories
When you looked at me
And told me everything
I see your time has passed
Fade out
Your time
Incased by
The hourglass
What do I say?
As the last grains are falling
How do I answer you?
How do we move forward from this?
A silent ending
Within a slow decay
What do you feel?
Show me your reflection

Liminal
09:26
|
|||
My thoughts are repeating
All alone I'm bleeding
Walking down the pathway
Dreading for the last day
An empty place reminisce
It didn't have to be like this
The past and the later
Wrap around me
In silence
Inside this mirror
The memories lie within it
Endless frames of daydreams
Tangled through what I see
The days start to blend in this
Frozen place of imminence
There's no separating
This feeling from a dream
Into the room that holds
That dimmed amber memory
Into a fall I am made
To face this reality
And now I'm locked in my inner cell
Where I just can't pull away
Please, will you awaken
From your final breath
The moment passes
I'm afraid it's the end
The light flicks away
It's a tender ending
Until we leave it here
There's nothing to say
Not for years
A faint light
To subtle glow
All I can say
Is I miss you
It feeds on my sanity
It feels a lie
That I lost everything
It feels a lie
That I lost everything
An end in a light bulb
All I can reminisce is
That luminous amber light
My thoughts keep me convinced
All I wonder is
How have you been ever since?

It All Lost Sense
05:54
|
|||
Colours fade grey
The bar line has gone
Watch the meaning fade
All the trust has torn
It all lost sense forever
I feel that's all there is in life
It all lost sense forever
I feel that's all there is in life
Pull the dying heart
Behind the stained glass cellophane
Watch the evening depart
Quietly
It all lost sense forever
I feel that's all there is in life
It all lost sense forever
I feel that's all there is

Three Years Later
04:23
|
|||
Your voice speaks in long silence
Showing every moment over
I cannot focus, could you turn it down?
It's loud enough with you not around
Three years later
That maroon shirt, the one you gave me
Well, ever since the colour has faded
And the fabric has torn apart
It doesn't fit how it did in the start
Three years later
That look you had, in your eyes
It would be the last time of ours
That broken sigh, that broken stare
Did it hurt to leave it there?
Because it never left me

Denouement
08:32
|
|||
I hear your voice beneath the mist
I walked along that path again
Down by the riverside
This time may be my last
Waiting
Watching
The river flow away
May the stream take all this sorrow
And lift me beyond the ether
The stones are holders of my regrets
A diary to hope that's lost
They've seen a shade of what I am
But In the end, it's all that has mattered
Waiting
Watching
The river flow away
Maybe I can watch it wash away
And bring me past forever
Now it feels so real
I see your face in the stars
One last moment
One last time
And all I've left behind
Is some twine floating
A homage to myself
In shattered pebbles
Of my memories
For I am broken
And I am only afraid
My hope has faded
If only I could explain it
As the tides wash over me
It's finally time to embrace it
Farewell
