You always swore to me you'd only admire the sky from afar

(Rather than leave)

With the clouds beyond the moon and stars

Up there is such an empty place

So open and vague, and the fact that it gave you hope

It showed on your face

Now it's so real to me

Were you so lost in emptiness that hope became a foreign phrase?

Diluted and forgotten in the endless daze

I never knew how much hate a heart could hold

A constant obsession with death and depression marked you astray

Took you away, but I still feel your loneliness like every day in the worst way

I'm drowning in the thoughts and the memories

I'm sinking in your absence, in your passing

I found you in a room saying words I thought you never meant

Quite the sight for sore eyes, isn't it?

Watching my stability fall apart

Highlighting my imperfections as a work of art

I just don't think I can make things work like they did before

This comatose state won't be ignored

I'm sorry you were so lost and empty that hope became a foreign phrase

But I won't forget you for the rest of my days

I never knew how much hate a heart could hold

A constant obsession with death and depression marked you astray

Took you away, but I still feel your loneliness like every day in the worst way

I'm drowning in the thoughts and the memories

I'm sinking in your absence, in your passing

On your deathbed

You left your final words and they read

My world's become an empty place

Void of comfort, I felt death's embrace

With open arms, I fell back

I want to see the black

I want to see the black
