Sleep in Silence - Ashes of Us Part II

Lyrics: [Intro] I still feel your shadow Drifting through these empty rooms Every promise left unspoken Still lingers like a wound [Verse 1] You turned our love into a grave A hollow place where memories decay I gave you every piece of me You answered with your apathy I watched you walk away Without a second glance Like all those years Were never given a chance [Pre-Chorus] Tell me, did you ever feel the same? Or was I just a name you could erase? I’m drowning in the afterglow Still searching for the face I used to know [Chorus] WE WERE EVERYTHING NOW WE’RE NOTHING! A shattered promise Lost beneath the skin I HELD ON TOO LONG YOU LET ME FALL! Now all that remains Are the ashes of us [Verse 2] Every photograph cuts like a knife Every “forever” died that night You built a kingdom in my chest Then left it buried with the rest I hate the way I miss you I hate the way I care I hate these silent hours Still reaching for you there [Pre-Chorus] Maybe love was never built to last Maybe we were only meant to pass But I won’t let your memory Become the chains that bury me [Chorus] WE WERE EVERYTHING NOW WE’RE NOTHING! A shattered promise Lost beneath the skin I HELD ON TOO LONG YOU LET ME FALL! Now all that remains Are the ashes of us [Breakdown] YOU! BURNED! EVERYTHING! AND LEFT ME IN THE DARKNESS! NO MORE WAITING! NO MORE CRAWLING! NO MORE BREATHING IN YOUR SHADOW! WE ARE DEAD! WE ARE GONE! THIS IS WHERE I CUT YOU OFF! [Bridge] I won’t chase what chose to disappear I won’t drown inside our yesterday The tears may fall The scars may stay But I’m finding strength to walk away [Final Chorus] WE WERE EVERYTHING NOW WE’RE NOTHING! But I survived The wreckage underneath YOU LET ME FALL BUT I FOUND MY GROUND! Your memory fades As I leave it in the past [Outro] The love is gone The pain will fade And somewhere beyond the silence I’ll finally be okay
