lyrics

tread upon a deaf abyss
and tell me what you see
negligent comfort submitted to a desperate form
we can't pull you back
we can't distort what's passed
our weeps harmonize a choir in these vacant halls

gaze upon a body burned to ashes
and attempt to rehabilitate their will
we can't pull you back
we can't distort what's passed
our connected woe as charcoal
warms these idle homes

the last place I ever saw you was inside the hospital in Windsor
wiping tears off your face with the bedsheets
you said anything you could to try to get it through to me
but I still saw life in your eyes
like you never left home
and then I felt that christmas come and go
mourning as a metaphor
echoing throughout these vacant halls
wondering if you'd be proud to see the ways we've grown
but I guess I'll never know
