The second death

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Memory wears familiar faces Until the edges disappear. Every outline learns to wander, Every silence sounds more clear. Time is fluent in subtraction, Patient as an open sea. Nothing asks to be forgotten. Nothing asks to stay complete. [Pre-Chorus] Everything remains... Until it doesn't. [Chorus] How long does an echo live After the walls refuse its name? How long does a shadow stay When every light has changed? If absence has a heartbeat, If silence has a face... Then somewhere after goodbye waits the second death. [Verse 2] Every photograph is honest. Every photograph still lies. Holding shape without the motion, Holding light without the eyes. There is no sound inside remembrance, Only ghosts of how it felt. Every fragment keeps on shifting Into someone no one held. [Chorus] How long does an echo live After the walls refuse its name? How long does a shadow stay When every light has changed? If absence has a heartbeat, If silence has a face... Then somewhere after goodbye waits the second death. [Bridge] Not every ending learns to end. Some become another language spoken only by forgetting. [Final Chorus] How long does an echo live When no one knows where it began? How long does a name survive Without another hand? Nothing asks to disappear. Nothing fights to stay. Everything becomes the version memory can save.
