Stay…

Just a moment longer…

Stay…

Just a moment longer…

I felt your breath

Break in my hand

Like something fragile

Not meant to stand

You called it trust

You called it grace

(I called it nothing)

Watched the end in your face

There is a sound

When a soul lets go

Not a scream…

Just something low…

(Do you hear it, do you feel it still?)

Not a scream…

Just something low…

I drank the night

From your fading light

Turned your voice

Into endless night

You reached for me

Like I was salvation

I was the edge

Of your annihilation

Still… you’re here…

In the back of my head

Not quite alive

Not fully dead

Your silence screams

Louder than breath

I carry you now

Like a private death

Do you hear it…

Do you feel it still…

That moment…

When you knew…

There is a sound

When a soul lets go…

I drank the night

And it drank me too

There is no line

Between me and you

You drank the night

From my fading light

Now there’s no line

Between wrong and right

You died believing

You were not alone

Now I am all

That you have become

(You reached for me

Like I was salvation…)

I drank the night

And it drank me too

There is no line

Between me and you…
