Lyrics
She smiled, and the world fell silent No war, no pain, just her, my defiant
Light in a place where demons nest For a second, my soul found rest
My heartbeat was holding her breath Now I cradle her ghost in death
Memories that belonged to no one like me Love cursed to eternity
Every dream became a scream Every laugh now tears at the seam
She touched my scars and they went quiet Her gaze turned storms into violet
I was less afraid when she was near Now her name's a blade I wear in fear
There's meaning in the rust Where we danced and turned to dust
Sometimes I wonder if I'm just an echo myself Not quite of this world
A remnant that slipped through the cracks My heartbeat was holding her breath
Now I drink sorrow in every step Memories that belonged to no one like me
I'm cursed to love what I can't see
Her smile was home, now it's gone, now it's gone And I'm left in this night too long
I held her close as she slipped through time Black tears dripping down my spine
I begged the stars but they just stared She vanished and I was never spared
Every breath is pain Every night's her name
Every whisper's fire and there's fire in my veins
The gods don't curse with hate They curse with love that stays
My heartbeat was holding her breath Now I burn where she once slept
Memories that belonged to no one like me A graveyard soul that can't break free
Every dream's a scar I trace Every smile now splits my face
Close my eyes, she's there again But waking's worse, it never ends
