Song for the Departed Demo by Teremont Lyrics
The night is silent when I'm here alone
When all I have is racing thoughts
When all I have is but myself
Counting minutes on the clock
Sometimes I still miss you
When it's cold, when I'm alone it's like
Your phantom warmth still heats me in the night
Like I can feel you, see you
Hear you tell me everything's alright
But I know you're still gone
And ghosts cannot replace your stolen light
But I know if you were here
You'd have no fear, and tell me
Just sit back, just relax and
See the stars and hear the rivers flowing
Tell me that you're proud and it's alright
That I can live without you
Tell me that it's not worth all the fights
And all the friends I'm losing
Tell me that it's just a part of life
And death and all that's holy
Tell me that what I did was right
The night is silent when I'm here alone
When all I have is thoughts of you
When all I have is memories
And your picture on the wall
(Spoken)
On panes of broken glass, I lay
My castle walls shattered past repair
A half promise destroyed and decayed
I am left alone
Lost in a maze of street lights and signs
Wandering a path laden with mistakes
Trapped within my own mind
I am alone
You were meant to protect me
You were meant to be my fortress
To be a wall that kept me free
But I am left alone now
I am left alone
You were and are a part of me
An artifact and fractal in my past
Infinite in your complexity
But I need to let go
I need to let go
Fractals of broken glass surround me
A testament to my failure
Impossible to pick up, harder still to hold
But I am afraid to let go
I am afraid to let go
I need to let go
When all I have is racing thoughts
When all I have is but myself
Counting minutes on the clock
Sometimes I still miss you
When it's cold, when I'm alone it's like
Your phantom warmth still heats me in the night
Like I can feel you, see you
Hear you tell me everything's alright
But I know you're still gone
And ghosts cannot replace your stolen light
But I know if you were here
You'd have no fear, and tell me
Just sit back, just relax and
See the stars and hear the rivers flowing
Tell me that you're proud and it's alright
That I can live without you
Tell me that it's not worth all the fights
And all the friends I'm losing
Tell me that it's just a part of life
And death and all that's holy
Tell me that what I did was right
The night is silent when I'm here alone
When all I have is thoughts of you
When all I have is memories
And your picture on the wall
(Spoken)
On panes of broken glass, I lay
My castle walls shattered past repair
A half promise destroyed and decayed
I am left alone
Lost in a maze of street lights and signs
Wandering a path laden with mistakes
Trapped within my own mind
I am alone
You were meant to protect me
You were meant to be my fortress
To be a wall that kept me free
But I am left alone now
I am left alone
You were and are a part of me
An artifact and fractal in my past
Infinite in your complexity
But I need to let go
I need to let go
Fractals of broken glass surround me
A testament to my failure
Impossible to pick up, harder still to hold
But I am afraid to let go
I am afraid to let go
I need to let go
