10 Days Before You Died
Reflections on Loss: 10 Days Before Farewell
Lyrics
When did you last me?
When did you last meet me?
10 days before you died
10 days before your death
Did you ask for me?
Did you inquire about my presence?
That would satisfy my mind
That would bring peace to my thoughts
I was rarely there
I was rarely present
When I should have been beside
When I should have been by your side
Now you torture me every second or third night
Now the memories torment me every second or third night
Every second or third night
Reiterating the haunting experiences every second or third night
At most arose
At most, emotions and feelings emerged
I beat this pose
I overcame this stance or situation
I saw your ghost
I witnessed an apparition of you
Are you proud of me?
Do you take pride in my actions?
For moving all these words in sound
For expressing thoughts through music
Voice of a painkiller
A voice reminiscent of a pain-reliever
Like you taught me to the ground
As you instructed, grounding me in reality
No, I was always there
No, I was always present
A heart's been closed around
A heart encased in emotional closure
Now I pine for sight every second or third night
Now I yearn for a vision every second or third night
Every second or third night
Repeating the desire for a vision every second or third night
At most arose
At most, emotions and feelings emerged
I beat this pose
I overcame this stance or situation
I saw your ghost
I witnessed an apparition of you
Oh you erase it all
Oh, you obliterate all memories
Erase it all, erase it all
Erase all traces of the past
