lyrics

A grey day it was and I remember it clearly
Rain both outside the window and in my heart
I was working on a painting like I used to
when my phone suddenly rang

I could hear that she tried to tell me goodbye
but her words were so strange to me
She was ever so present which was a surprise
since she had withered away for years mentally

When I found Mother in her room it was too late,
she had swallowed too many pills
And she left me a note saying "Please forgive me,
Live your life, you will do great!"

And I spilt my darkness all over the canvas
uncontrolled energy flowing free
Not enough paint to match my sorrow
There was too much frustration in me

But also this sadness would wear off with time
and I found that the world kept spinning
Even though I tried to deny it
there was a new beginning after the horrible end

Eventually I came out on the other side
an emotionally broken excuse of a man
but my wife and children stood me by
they helped me through the pain

"Focus on the living,
they're all you've got
Don't waste your life chasing ghosts",
they used to say.

But the ghosts will never leave me,
they live through my art
Even here in this shape I'm in,
dwelling deep within my heart
