lyrics

Today would mark a year since I last saw your face
The real one, not that face in that casket
And if I knew that would be the last time we met
I'd have put a pause on everything

And even still
Everybody says you're sleeping
That you're resting in the shade
But I know better, you're not sleeping
You're not even here at all

You were gone when you lay down
Familiar waste is all we found
They all tell me you looked the same
but the thing I saw only bears your name

As much as I wish it were the case
We can't be sure you're even listening
As much as I wish I saw you there
The simple fact: it's only empty flesh without the spark

I couldn't wave goodbye
I couldn't say goodbye
This is my goodbye
This is my goodbye

I couldn't wave goodbye
I couldn't say goodbye
This is my goodbye
This is my goodbye

Now you're gone and all I have
Are whispers of a distant past
In the photographs hung on the wall
In the pamphlet that I kept

Time marches on and still I feel
The weight of your passing far from my home
Even still, It's so unreal
That you don't have a damn gravestone

I hope that I was wrong
I hope you're sleeping there
I hope you saw the light

I hope that I was wrong
I hope you're sleeping there
I hope you saw the light
I hope I see the light
