Remains

I made the backing track by adding reverb and delay mooneffects to layered drum samples, accompanied by a simple synth part on my Korg volca fm2. The guitars are taking a rest for a minute :)

Words:

I'm all that remains

I'm all I'm left

I'm just my years and without dying I'm dead

I'm the nothing that is

but in my shredded memories

I have one purpose I - burn

where there is not enough light for you to see me

restrained in my sleep

There's something there but there's nothing left

only darkness on my breath

I'm the me that remains

An answer a fortifier,

dust in your winds

Smoke from my pyre

I'm deep in the flames

As they melt my memories,

I have one purpose I - burn

When there is not enough light for you to see me

In dripping sheets

There's something here,

but you're not there when I'm asleep

The lungs last gasp of stagnant air

The shallows laugh off with its deep repairs

It's the dark that watches me through the window

It's the fear that keeps me in the shallows

It's my death that comes to life in the shadows

As I submit to the flames I'm all that remains

I'm the distal void

The light of the Stars

I'm just my years and I'm counting my scars

I'm the cuffs on the bed

A match well struck

I have one purpose I - burn

When there is not enough life for you to see me

Uneasily

There's nothing there and I'm only here so you can sleep

I'm burning hot, melting memories

It's the dark that watches me through the window

It's the fear that keeps me in the shallows

It's my death that comes to life in the shadows

As I submit to the flames I'm all that remains
