To Bury a Friend Lyrics by Scarlet Meridian

A Modern Noir

2024

I watch a somber sunset return to it’s evening red
The horizon’s embrace clings to it
As it slips away again
Bearing witness to its depth; Bearing witness to its death
At the wake of its calamity I try to breathe again
Neon lights illuminate my sins
They paint me the antagonist
I try to breathe again
I try to breathe again
Drowned in sin
I’ve swallowed my pride
I’ve watched the time pass by
I’ve walked your lines
I’ve pulled your blade from out my spine
Old friends, they cast their stones
They set the chair, they tie my rope
They’d claim to love me in the same breath they pull
But when I’m out of sight
And when I’m out of mind
Will you still call for me?
This midnight’s conquered me
And when I’m out of sight
And when I’m out of mind
Will you still pray for me?
This season’s gone gray for me
The flooded streets become my domain
The bitter lamplight setting my stage
Separating from the here and now
From all that’s ever been good in me
And yet I remain
The trials that would be ones end of days
By sheer force of will I remain
I, the one who walks again
Separating the here and now
From all that’s good in me
Separating the here and now
From all that’s good in me
And as the seasons change
Your barrel points towards me
The rain would wash my scarlet away
If between us stands one of our early ends
I’d hate for you to bury a friend
But when I’m out of sight
And when I’m out of mind
Will you still call for me?
This midnight’s conquered me
And when I’m out of sight
And when I’m out of mind
Will you still pray for me?
This season’s gone gray for me
