The Vacated - For All Eternity

As the wind blows, hope from sorrow

This place we used to call our home leaves me cold as stone

The voice of the vacated is still present, in a way it has never left

I wish the pain away but it holds in my skin

Old wounds are the words I have left unsaid

The pain behind these eyes is the kind you don’t forget

You’ve taken everything, more of me than anyone ever has

Now I’m taking it all back

Taking it back

We were tethered, you and I

Tangled up in a lie, intertwined

We were tethered, held together

I may seem free, but I’m lost behind your eyes

Pain is shaping who I am

Time is taking me away from this

When I arrive, survived and determined

I can rebuild with the pieces that remain untaken

I may be broken and hurting in this place you left

Place you left

But in a flicker, this will be a memory

Years in the past

Hold on, hold on

These words will soon be gone

My heart refuses to restart, it once beat in time with yours

Our eyes lock and I remember what we’ve lost

Across this barren plane, staring you in the face

I’ll say it again as I’ve said it before, these scars are the same as yours

As the wind blows, hope from sorrow

This place we used to call our home leaves me cold as stone
