Sand and Snow
Quelle: Spotify
Every city is a ghost town where I see remnants of us
That will never fade because they'll never see the light
The streets remember our footprints
Maps made in sand and snow
Where we walked side by side
The things we told each other
Piece by piece
As it comes back now
Revisiting
I stopped searching for our missing ending
There are no dry winds carrying torn pages down abandoned roads
Fluttering
Caught on telephone poles
Waiting to be found and read aloud
Even if I alone returned to those streets
Deceased
I'd be choked by the ashes of long combusted paper dreams
You are being immortalized as I speak
Not just in words
But a reality I live in my sleep
Last night I dreamt you followed me
I can feel you always close
Sometimes a day ahead
Or two behind
Hunting down a similar night
Different from the next
I can still hear your voice in air currents you've since left and I've just found
I told you to never try and find me
But how can I ask memories to leave
They just come and go as they please
And even if I wrote a thousand songs
No one will ever know what you've done to me
They'll hear it echoing
Or see the delicate skin shed from a body still evolving
Ghosts of emotions lost and unable to give up
A carcass of a parasite that left one final scar before being cast from it's host
We're not bound by ties
But inescapably intertwined in eachother's lives
Your love was glass cut like a diamond
But I have discovered a truer fortune
I take pity on your greed
You will never regain wealth lost in me
And even as I immortalize you with my words
I know you don't deserve this
