[Clean, delay-drenched electric guitar riff with a melancholic, minor key melody. Drums enter softly with a gentle cymbal swell, building slowly.]
The silence screams your absence in this hollow space,
I count the echoes of your steps, lost without a trace.
A tether cut, a vital thread ruthlessly undone,
Since the day you walked away, my life has come undone.
They say it's over, just a memory to chase,
But they don't know this scar runs deeper than my face.
You left me with a hunger that this world can't fill,
A phantom limb that throbs and aches, completely still.
I feel the cold that crawls into my empty chest,
A perfect half is missing, I can't put my soul to rest.
I am a fragment, A shattered, hollow shell.
You severed the soul tie, and condemned me to this hell!
This mind is a PRISON, dark and cold and vast,
A solitary sentence for a love that couldn't last!
I’m trapped within these walls of thought, no way to break free,
give me back the piece of me you took when you left me.
I wander through the waking hours, eyes fixed on the floor,
Every path I try to take just leads me to your door.
The sunlight is a mockery, the air is thick with dread,
I’m haunted by the promises that we both left unsaid.
I try to breathe, to push the thought, to find another way,
But every single victory fades out by the end of the day.
My anchor’s gone, the compass spun, I’m adrift and out of time,
Lost in the echoes of a love that was profoundly mine.
I feel the cold that crawls into my empty chest,
A perfect half is missing, I can't put my soul to rest.
I am a fragment, A shattered, hollow shell.
You severed the soul tie, and condemned me to this hell!
This mind is a PRISON, dark and cold and vast,
A solitary sentence for a love that couldn't last!
I’m trapped within these walls of thought, no way to break free,
give me back the piece of me you took when you left me.
[Bridge / Breakdown]
Brace. The lock is thrown, the key is lost inside the dark.
This is my cell block. There's no where to go.
Just the ECHO of your name in the bitter, crushing snow!
[Desperate, spoken word over clean, eerie guitar arpeggios]
It's cold in here... I can't find the light... I am not whole...
Forever in this darkness. A prison of the mind.
I am a fragment, A shattered, hollow shell.
You severed the soul tie, and condemned me to this hell!
This mind is a PRISON, dark and cold and vast,
A solitary sentence for a love that couldn't last!
I’m trapped within these walls of thought, no way to break free,
give me back the piece of me you took when you left me.
[Music rapidly slows and fades out, returning to the single clean, delay-drenched riff from the intro.]
[Vocal Whisper] ...not whole... not whole...
