Echoes Of Existence

Lyrics:

Went to the church bridge, wasn't too far.
Talked til the stars shone, went to a bar.
Time moves in silence, couldn't touch us.
Who knew that one day, we'll turn to dust.

Thoughts leap
Dig deep 
Can't sleep 
I'm strained in this instance.
Cold air,
Blank stare,
You’re not there,
Just echoes of existence.

You always had stories that never grew old.
Spun out in warmth, half whiskey, half gold.
I saw you'd gone quiet, slipped into grey,
No warning no whisper, drifted away.

I keep playing back what I should’ve said.
Echoes don’t answer, nor ghosts of the dead.
But if you still wander where no one can see,
Know part of you lingers, breathing in me.
