about

Portraits hang from the walls of your heart
Front row seat to watch you fall apart
Faded ghosts of your memories, haunting you to death

Time flashes back within shadowed eyes
Glimpses of joy within shattered mind
So far removed from that which gave you your shine

Memories of a life lived in sun
Given perspective now that you’re done
Shades of when you believed your purpose was divine

Possibilities live in your head
Choices made, what could have been instead
Alternatives will pervade your consciousness
Until your final breath

You hang from the strings of my heart
Front row seat to watch you fall apart
Faded ghost of your memory will haunt me to death

It beats us down and fractures us, it plays upon our fear
And though we try and fail to fight, with rage and many tears
Immobilizing us from life, a different kind of heart attack
And drowns us deep from every source, through every pore and crack
It swallows us, consumes us whole, the omnipresent black

But this is not the end

lyrics

These photographs hanging from the panels on the wall
All I know.
I’m moving fast. The kids are chasing me to my own past.
All I know.

When your life is fading like those photographs,
We will cling to our memories and photographs.

I’m breaking out. I’m breaking from this frame that holds me back.
All I know.
I’m looking out. The universe inside my mind controls
All I know.

When your life is fading like those photographs,
We will cling to our memories and photographs.

These photographs get me through the day
These photographs helped me find my way
These photographs, ever changing since you came
Into my life, things have never been the same.

When your life is fading like those photographs,
We will cling to our memories and photographs.
When our lives are fading like those photographs,
We hold onto our memories and photographs.
