Posthumous

lyrics

Your empty eyes speak the truth
Something took away a part of you
I fight against the brimming tears
My head replaying all the years
I just wish our last farewell
Hadn’t pushed me through hell

I cannot see
Can’t wrap my head around it all
Your name is etched to this tombstone
But you’re so far from home

The rain keeps falling from the sky
As I find the strength to say goodbye

In memoriam

The soft shroud of grief
Makes me question my belief
That time can bring any relief
Just knowing you’re not there
Brings an ache I cannot bear
You’ve come to haunt me again
To remind me of your end

I cannot see
Can’t wrap my head around it all
Your name is etched to this tombstone
But you’re so far from home
I cannot bear this loss
How will I find
A way to carry this cross?

In the shadow of your grave
I forget my own name

In memoriam
