This Empty Room Once Was Alive Lyrics by Knifeworld

The Unravelling

2014

When the curtain draws
And buried all are we
Would this have made a difference?
And in the afterlife
A gaudy purgatory
Would we still remember?
And every passing year, I feel those icy fingers poking me
This empty room one was alive with noise and smoke and beauty
Too terrified to sleep in case the dreams in which you're walking come
They find me woken, staring at my pillow broken, spent, and numb
And all I am is frightened I’ll forget just what we had
And all I am is scared to cast what's left of my mind back
My dear friend, my sweet captain, I can't find the words to tell you
Just how deep the hole you left behind you when you fell became
Around in circles limps this crippled horse that I’m still riding
While old friends ring me up to ask me where have I been hiding?
