The after math. Lyrics by This Glass Embrace

Reach Forever Failing (Old Songs Vol. 1)

2009

[Verse 1]
Wake up
You wonder how long you’ve been sitting there
Sprawled on the floor
Casually, like you’d been dropped
Tossed aside
The words ring more true than perhaps they should
[Verse 2]
Blink
Memories come back in a rush
The feel of the cold, lifeless phone in your cold, lifeless fingers
The voice on the other end
The feeling in your gut
Like your stomach just dropped through the floor
[Verse 3]
Blink
Your eyelids scrape agonizingly
The surface of your eyes bled dry of tears
Leaving only a stinging pain and a hollow, numb sensation
A void of empty indifference that you can only pray is temporary
[Verse 4]
Pray
You’ve been doing a lot of that
It’s your last refuge against despair
The safety line that held you from the edge
You just pray that it’s enough
[Verse 5]
Blink
(Faster than your eyes can follow)
How long have you been lying here?
Days, weeks, years?
(Faster than your thoughts can go)
Could be, but probably more like hours
From some distant place you hear a mournful cry
(Faster than the rain can cleanse you)
Eyes stained by the death of hope slide to the indifferent floor
The disconnected phone lies on its side
Inches from your outstretched fingers
(Faster than the falling snow)
The cold, muted scream of the dial tone echoing through your mind
Or was that you screaming?
