Stage 3: The Palliative Breath Lyrics by The Reticent

The Oubliette

2020

The holes are deepening in my mind
Memories like phantoms die
Approaching doors, extending hands
Turn the knob and what do I find?
Only a stark emptiness
Nothing here now
No future mine
But no past behind
I’m just another empty shell
Death of the mind
No one beside
Perhaps this is my own hell
Do not ask me to remember
Don’t try to make me understand
Let me rest and know you’re with me
Kiss my cheek and hold my hand
I’m so confused and I’m so lost
So the bеst of me is done
All this time
Furthеr away
I know there’s even worse to come
Leaving me
My faculties
A young man passed by here today
He said, “good to see you.”
He seemed so kind the more we spoke
He told me of his father old
Poor boy was confused, called me “Dad” left in falling tears
I don’t understand why he’s so sad it makes me want to runaway in fact
I just want to fly away
I still want to fly away
So the best of me is done
All this time
Further away
I know there’s even worse to come
Leaving me
My faculties
