Concrete Remembrance by Grtfrdig Lyrics

In an unfamiliar place, sorrow clutches at my throat
But I pay it no mind
Drinking to numb its grasp
Stumbling drunk in a city that was once ours but never my own
We laughed in those streets
We wandered carelessly through the cold
Dark alleyways and for a moment
It felt that entropy had released us from its cruel indifferent burden
That laid upon our lives

It was so quiet and I could see your breath in the cold night air;
The snow embracing you as we walked up those stairs
So many words, so many blurry faces
My head light for the first time with nothing
Lost to this grotesque
Decadent veil and through the pall of cigarette smoke
I saw the red neon light forcing its way onto your pale skin
It looked like you were bleeding and it was so beautiful

So lost in this blissful dream that I couldn't see our long dark shadows that grew in the streetlights
I couldn't see that you were never really there
And that you would leave me in the dust
And tears of a past I so miserably cling to
