Golden Fate; Isolate

(album: a quiet place to die - 2020)

It doesn't matter in the end
You're gone, never coming back
A memory nothing more
No metaphors
You took your own life
So where was my goodbye?

Alone yet encompassed by love
Lost grip of reality so young
The fragility of your body
Left a myriad of thorns

Did you know this would fuck me up?
I've lost more friends than I got

I try to make sense of it
Put myself in your shoes
Forever chasing a different outcome

It doesn't matter in the end
You're gone, never coming back
A memory nothing more
No metaphors
You took your own damn life (you left me behind)
Where was my fucking goodbye?

Ulterior motives of an undue exit
Your sight set on a casket
Blinded by eyes of Ryuk
Your forgotten smile in every place I look

Just like that it's September again
Pull out the photographs and remember again

Why leave the world so young?

Gaze upon your world ablaze
Engulfed by castles in the sky
Like ash you crumbled
