I’ll Be Missing You 2.0
A dark reflection on grief, memory and the silence someone leaves behind.
Lyrics
Yeah... To the ghosts in the machine. To the ones who didn't make it out. The silence ain't quiet anymore. It screams. Check it.
I wake up choking on the smoke, hand reaching for a ghost The room is cold, the walls are closing in, I'm paying every cost It's hard to start the engine when the fuel is running dry Stumbling through the morning haze, trying not to die You were the king of the block, built the throne on broken glass Now I'm picking up the shards, watching all the memories pass They say time heals the wound, but time just cuts it deep I'm drowning in the hollow where your promise used to sleep I'd burn the crown, the fame, the gold, the whole damn game Just to hear your voice one more time, to call out your name I saw your shadow in the alley, looking just like you A legacy of blood and dust that the world still sees through You were the mountain, now you're just a pile of ash I'm looking at the gutter, waiting for the crash.
Life ain't a straight line, it's a jagged, broken road Carrying the weight of the sins we never showed But even in the darkness, the fire burns to ash A cold wind blowing through the trash.
Every step I take, I feel the rot Every move I make, I'm losing what Every single day, every time I pray I'm holding on, but I'm missing you Thinking of the day, the world turned gray When you slipped away, what a price to pay What a bond to break, what a heart to shake I'll be missing you.
It's weird how the memories play like a broken tape Like rats in the basement, eating through the escape You taught me how to stand when the pavement cracked How to find the numbness when the heart was black We shared the vision, we chased the same high Now I'm screaming at the moon, asking why But I know you're watching, maybe smiling from below Guiding every step with a demon's glow I don't need the words to know you're dead and gone In every beat of the bass, in the breaking dawn The stage is empty, but the song is loud and wrong Your spirit is the rhythm, the beat, the song.
One morning, when the sun breaks through Maybe I'll see your face, maybe it's true No more goodbyes, just the tears I cry Just the endless sky, and you and I. (Whispered) Or maybe just the void.
Every step I take, I feel the rot Every move I make, I'm losing what Every single day, every time I pray I'm holding on, but I'm missing you Thinking of the day, the world turned gray When you slipped away, what a price to pay What a bond to break, what a heart to shake I'll be missing you.
Every night I pray... (I'm missing you) Every step I take... (You're gone, you're gone) Every move I make... (Every single day) Every time I pray... (To see you again) We won't stop, 'cause we can't stop. You're the light? No, you're the dark. You're the song? No, you're the scar. I'll be missing you. (Fade out into silence)
