NOTE

-----------------

This one's for when you're mourning someone you haven't spoken to in decades.

Sup. This is my submission for my second round in the Prompt Roulette Tournament at The Soundry. Basically, they spin the wheel and you have to use the prompts you're given. Doom metal and all that stuff is DEFINITELY out of my comfort zone, so this one took a bit of time to get all the sections to work well. I hope y'all find something to like in it, in any case <3

LYRICS

--------------------

Can you recall, at all?

Tied by the hip, and-

Took so many trips, and-

It, just, all, slowed, to, a crawl..

Moved to different branches,

Then ended up in separate trees,

Developed dual stances,

Di-verging our beliefs, we-

Left, (right)

I, (might)

Not mourn anything, but-

what might, have been.

Ah, yeah it feels so silly and it feels so wrong,

To lay a rose on a grave after oh so long, and-

Yeah, I'm, just, stopping by for a friend,

Yeah, I'm, just, stopping by for a friend, (for my friend)

He no longer exists but he said you'd be, ride, or, die, till the end!

I had this awful dream, that we,

Stuck together like we always did, and we,

Got pulled off the road and hit a tree, and we,

Couldn’t believe that we survived without bleeding,

I suppose I should cry for the guy I knew,

For the good old times, as the time just flew,

Been such a long while, kinda hard to reconcile,

With you.

Not that I feel too much, and-

Not that I blame you as such, and-

You’re basically a stranger from some photos I have,

Stored in the attic, for my past self’s behalf.

Left, (right)

I, might,

Not mourn anything, but-

what might, have been.

Ah, yeah it feels so silly and it feels so wrong,

To lay a rose on a grave after oh so long, and-

Yeah, I'm, just, stopping by for a friend,

Yeah, I'm, just, stopping by for a friend, (for my friend)

He no longer exists but he said you'd be, ride, or, die, till the end!

But that’s just how it is,

(it was a slow separation)

Yeah, that’s just how it is,

(a slow, a slow, a slow)

I didn't, mean, to, ignore, our, promise,

I guess, that, time, just, washed it, away, (hey!)

I suppose, our, diff, rences, had, to, stop us,

And I, for, sure, hope, you, felt the same!

Ah, yeah it feels so silly and it feels so wrong,

To lay a rose on a grave after oh so long, and-

Yeah, I'm, just, stopping by for a friend,

Yeah, I'm, just, stopping by for a friend, (for my friend)

He no longer exists but he said you'd be, ride, or, die, till the end!
