Lyrics
Sometimes, when one person is absent
The whole world seems depopulated
Come back, even as a shadow, even as a dream
Falling upwards through the sky
You cut through clouds before my eyes
Is it peaceful in the afterlife?
Or are you like me buried in the tide?
You no longer breathe
So I'm living in a fever dream
I'm losing sleep
While you're buried in the tide
I need your help
When the silence is deafening
If it's your time, then tell me why
It hurts to be alive
Your brother called, could hardly speak
He said "I'm strong, but I'm on my knees"
Is it peaceful in the afterlife?
Or do you wish to slowly turn back time?
You no longer breathe
So I'm living in a fever dream
I'm losing sleep
While you're buried in the tide
I need your help
When the silence is deafening
If it's your time, then tell me why
It hurts to be alive
Your coffee scent and cigarettes
Are fragments I will not forget
I'm drifting down the interstate
But these strangers don't know your name
You no longer breathe
So I'm living in a fever dream
I'm losing sleep
While you're buried in the tide
I need your help
When the silence is deafening
If it's your time then tell me why
It hurts to be alive
