Mark:
I’ve been building homes in my head crafted from sand and sticks
I’ve been chasing ghosts through windows and crawl spaces
We are decaying like ruins
Failing to route our growing cracks
We are losing solid ground
We will keep fading till the last
I won’t suffer for this
vague justifications
There is no meaning to hold us
There is only growing dark
Stars don’t cry out before their collapse
They are prisoners of time just like us
All of it will break and slowly slip away
All our actions will be forgotten
There will be no light to catch your eyes
Alex:
You couldn’t tear this down
With work or effort
Standing long before you
And long after
No voice loud enough
To hear you cry
From forest to sea
There is nothing
Nothing
I want to live forever
Long past when you’re all gone
Long past when faces have lost all meaning
Just a memory of a memory
Long past when the earth breaks and fades away
And I float through space
I’ll watch every star go out
Egin:
I’ve been in my head far too long
I’ve been losing myself since you left
I’ve lost myself
All these motions unravel like leaves detaching
Withering from the meaninglessness within
Nothing, there’s nothing
Nothing, to be felt
Nothing but the dark
This everlasting dark
Consume. Conscience. This confession. Is meaningless.
The lights are long dead
Shadows don’t tell a soul
The things they’ve seen
