[Intro]
[Haunting solo piano]
I wrote your name across the mirror
So I’d remember when I woke
The letters look like someone else’s
A permanent mark
In an empty Room
⸻
[Verse 1]
The hallway stretches every morning
Longer than the day before
I know these walls have seen me leaving
They just won’t tell me what for
The photographs all watch in silence
Smiling like they know the end
I recognize every single face…
I just don’t recognize myself in them.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
Something keeps taking pieces of me
And leaving everything else behind
⸻
[Chorus]
I CAN’T REMEMBER YOUR FACE
BUT I REMEMBER THE WAY YOU CRIED
EVERY MORNING SOMETHING DIES
AND EVERY NIGHT THEY CALL IT ME
I HEAR MY NAME INSIDE THE WALLS
LIKE SOMEONE ELSE IS WEARING MY SKIN
IF I EVER MAKE IT OUT…
WHO’S WALKING OUT WITHIN?
⸻
[Verse 2]
Your coffee cup is on the counter
Cold enough to gather dust
I leave it there because I’m terrified
Of finding out it isn’t yours.
I found your coat beside the doorway
It still smells like yesterday
I held it close until I realized
I don’t know if you ever stayed
There’s another plate upon the table
Another chair pulled from the wall
I’ve been setting it for someone…
Who never comes at all
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
The mirror shows a face that’s aging
My memories don’t age at all
⸻
[Chorus]
I CAN’T REMEMBER YOUR FACE
BUT I REMEMBER THE WAY YOU CRIED
EVERY MORNING SOMETHING DIES
AND EVERY NIGHT THEY CALL IT ME
I KEEP CHASING WHAT I LOST
THROUGH ROOMS THAT NEVER LET ME LEAVE
I DON’T KNOW WHAT’S REAL ANYMORE…
BUT I KNOW SOMETHING’S WATCHING ME
⸻
[Bridge]
WHO ARE YOU?
WHO AM I?
WHY WON’T YOU LET ME DIE?
Rip the mirrors from the walls.
Burn every picture. Every name.
If memory is all I have…
THEN TAKE MY FUCKING BRAIN.
ERASE ME.
ERASE ME.
ERASE ME.
SET ME FREE.
⸻
[Piano Interlude]
I found your name across the mirror…
I don’t remember writing it.
⸻
[Guitar Solo]
[The piano melody becomes the foundation for a melodic, emotional lead guitar solo before building back into the final chorus]
⸻
[Final Chorus]
I CAN’T REMEMBER YOUR FACE
BUT I REMEMBER THE WAY YOU CRIED
EVERY MORNING SOMETHING DIES
AND EVERY NIGHT THEY CALL IT ME
IF YOU’RE STILL SOMEWHERE INSIDE THIS HOUSE
PLEASE DON’T LET ME WAKE ALONE
IF I’VE ALREADY LEFT THIS PLACE…
WHO’S THE ONE…
WHO CAME HOME?
⸻
[Outro]
[Only piano]
The mirror’s clean now.
I don’t know your name anymore.
I don’t remember who I was…
Before I forgot you
ASHBORN
