Elysium

(album: Heavener - 2023)

We know something is on your mind, would you care to open up?
At least share something for us to work with
I know it's weighing you down
Don't be scared, it's going to be just fine
He will meet you in the Elysian Fields

I see the past drifting by
Winds traveled darker
Now bright before my eyes
So I drown my surroundings and let it consume me
I was blind to blood, so I turned away
Stuck behind a veil
Locked in vacant rooms reserved for grief

In these empty halls I sit
Where the silence is so loud
Wonder if I am to go
Leave it to the ones alive

I'm not ready to believe it
Feel astray, will you wait for me?

Not used to letting go
And it's harder now
Left to feel alone
But I still feel your ghost
Can I let it go?
Was I lost somehow?
Never felt your love
When my eyes were shut

I was blind to blood, so I turned away
You were left in the cold

An absence persistent
In shades astray, we decay
Blurred by the distance
Twelve years of loss rained down today
What I lost
What I lost
Standing in the plains of gods
Hold still for me

I see the past drifting by
Winds traveled darker
Now bright before my eyes
So I let it consume me

Not used to letting go
And it's harder now
Left to feel alone
But I still feel your ghost
Can I let it go?
Was I lost somehow?
Never felt your love
When my eyes were shut

What I lost was blind to me
How could your ascension just slip my mind?
I knew you were gone but couldn't feel nor find
Vacant rooms now filled with grief
Wait for me deep in the space between
