Here I Lay

Caliginous

It's the sound of silence that does it for me
The unwelcome reminder that you're gone
We knew that we were doomed
You said you didn't care at all

The sun has gotten dimmer
My nights have gotten longer
Between the soul twisting screams
And that goddamn silence

Some people say time heals all wounds
But what the fuck does time know about us?
Time is the reason I'm here and you're gone
It's the reason I can't move on

I can almost feel you wrapped around me
Or maybe it's the hallucinations again
I thought I heard you speak
You never spoke such soft words to me

What a twist of fate we were
What a tragic tangled mess we made
If only I had known
I probably would've chosen the same

I hope that you are well
That you sleep with the sweetest dreams
I hope the silence isn't too loud
That you have somehow found peace

I wish the same for me
For the light you stole to return to me
Maybe one day the darkness will let go
Or maybe it will swallow me whole
