Lyrics
[verse 1]

lately I've been innately pacing hastily, shaking,
and basically praying, to a greater vacancy
to take me gracefully, I'm wasting away, awake and
tracing the sheets, where we would lay, embracing
as I sit with my feelings, chin tipped to the ceiling,
wishin I could see you again, I'm missing you dearly
teary-eyed, my mind givin into visions of you appearing
I'm living, but as life goes by - it's too surreal and
it's like I, been hit, but I'm still reelin
I been sick, but I'm still kneelin, I'm still healin
I guess, but the stress of this ordeal has been stealin
the breath from my chest, but still, I been dealin
I remember so clearly, the moment the doctor spoke and
we both focused, hopeful for a diagnosis
of "normal" but when his mouth opened, I noticed
his expression was mostly token of hopelessness
my throat was closin, we'd never grow older?
my whole soul was broken, I was so choked up


[hook]:

all the world has closed her eyes
tired faith all worn and thin
for all we could've done
and all that could've been

[verse 2]:

baby, your funeral was beautiful, the eulogy was full of humor
viewing you, was somethin, I just couldn't do though
I wanted to, but when I stood to do it, when I went to move,
I saw you mute, and knew I'd lose it, I refused to
cuz if I passed the casket and saw you sleepin peacefully
I'd find myself with weakened knees, weeping freely, see
I couldn't bring myself to peek, cuz we can be
together, forever, in each one of my sweet memories
and in this melody, I can almost hear you telling me
you'll never leave my side, and when I die, we'll be together, free

[hook]:

all the world has closed her eyes
tired faith all worn and thin
for all we could've done
and all that could've been

[verse 3]

as time passes, I ask myself, can I outlast this
sadness? get past this madness? sit back and laugh again,
happily? or will I snap and crack? slash gashes
in my wrists in a bath, just to get
closer to you, I'm broken in two,
and I'm noticing you, as a ghost, and it's too
real, I do feel that it's over, and you here
no longer, is too sobering now, it's too clear
as I stand as a man, on the edge of this pier,
with no hint of fear, towards death, it's so clear
the moment is so real, and I'm so sincere
I'm focused and zoned in, into the foam, I stare
till I barely dove in with no cares and I'm
floatin prone with the cold ocean, soaking my hair

[hook]:

all the world has closed her eyes
tired faith all worn and thin
for all we could've done
and all that could've been

[Outro]

ocean pulls me close
her whispers in my ear
the destiny I've chose
[is] all becomin clear

the currents have their say
the time is drawing near
washes me away
makes me dissapear

and I descend from grace
in arms of undertow
I will take my place
in the Great Below!
