[Verse]
His chair sits empty in the corner's fold
The clock ticks louder as the room turns cold
A photo stares with eyes that used to shine
Now shadows linger where light crossed the line
[Verse 2]
His voice is faint like an old broken song
Each breath a whisper where lungs feel wrong
The walls around hold his fading scent
A cruel reminder of the time we've spent
[Chorus]
Why does hope feel so far away
When the skies turn black and refuse to stay
You're slipping fast like sand through hands
And I'm drowning here in unmapped lands
[Verse 3]
Your hands like paper trembling with their weight
Each passing second pulls tighter the gate
No words to fix what this world has torn
Just prayers unspoken in the face of morn
[Bridge]
The silence screams louder than any cry
As every glance says final goodbye
The stars don't move they just watch and stare
While the weight of this world becomes too much to bear
[Chorus]
Why does hope feel so far away
When the skies turn black and refuse to stay
You're slipping fast like sand through hands
And I'm drowning here in unmapped lands
