Silence fills my chest
I still recall how you looked your best
The world is loud and dark but we refuse to fall
Was the path we took worth it all?
Were we naive with bounded strength
To dare the fate we couldn't bend
But side by side we marched through the fire hoped for a new life we turned the tide
Now ghosts in our memory
You were the light I see
It wasn't meant to be
I still hear your voice in the storm
Like truth I can't transform
I still drown in what we were before
Simmering
Lingering I
Watched our future turn to ash
Now you're buried in the past
Simmering
Lingering
Wish you'd last
I took the necessary step
But history might forget
Now time won't let me take a breath from
Simmering
Lingering I
Struck you down to save the rest
To wear this cursed regret
Could I have saved you from death
Is it
For the best
Nonetheless
You were the light I see
