Keening Lyrics by Respire

Hiraeth

2024

The silence after us
Echoing nothing, a meaningless loss
All dreams fade to grey with every shade of your photograph
In our homes built of glass, what words leave a crack?
When it all collapses, what shards will cut deepest?
We pick apart the could-have-beens
Play the part, buy the dream

Hope is a hollow word kept in tow
There's no meaning to behold
Just the yearning to feel a light
Ever distant, waning

Home, did you find what you left for?
Did your fear start shutting doors?
Did your dream feel real in the shadows, in the shadows?
Hold fast, faint light

A suffocating destiny
Trauma encodеd in binary
Still, we keep on screaming
Writing songs to no one, trying to find thе words
Trying to find the way to thrash against
The meaning eludes me, the feeling never stays
To thrash against
The meaning eludes me, the feeling never stays

I raise the sail, return to sea
To find a place to rest my head

Do you leave the past?
Does it choose to let you go?
Can you feel the lack?
Does the distance make it so?
Do you leave the past?
Does it choose to let you-

Find solace in things we left unsung
The past becoming us
Our washed up hopes in memories of light and loss
Things left unsung
Find solace in things we left unsung
