lyrics

Can’t escape the ghost of you, still I feel alone
Alone in my head, lost without your light to guide me home
Take me away to a time when we were near
even drawn to silence, it’s just your sweet voice I hear

Memories recede in time, ‘till I can’t recall
the minor moments that entwine to the rest of them all
Replay time on repeat when we were good
Skip past the parts, when we both misunderstood

Still, my heart still burns, for you

Time is a luxury that I can’t sustain,
Even for a fleeting moment I wish I could ease your pain
Firmly grounded by fear, caught without a plan
But I promised, I’ll be there when I can

But still, my heart still burns, for you
Still, my heart burns for you now

Falling out of phase, out of time, nothing written in stone
Fading fast from you, taking it in, but I just can’t remember it all
I’m feeling weightless and scared, and tired of life,
void by the moment I cede all control
Is it all in my head, the life that I’ve known, it’s all in my head, and I can’t let it go
It plays over, and over, and over again, the choices I made, well what if I had said?
could I have changed, anything at all, or is all life fixed to an immutable fall
Everything I see reminds me of you, these mementos I keep, the mori of you
A body weakened in time, with beautiful young eyes
How I wish you could stay, and take me away
