We cover the void with fabric and thread
We dress up the silence, the things left unsaid
Choosing the darkness with nowhere to go
And being just someone, a face in the flow
The colourless view from the window pane
Is ripping my soul, driving me insane
I carry this granite inside my chest
Something is choking, stealing my breath
I'll tie to my wrists with a thread of sorrow
Another half-tonne of grief I borrowed
For now I'll stand still and watch from the shore
To see where the current carries it all
Life will continue its endless race
When I am gone without a trace
We scatter like dust, we wander, we roam
But others arrive to call it home
