Lyrics
How many words go unsaid between us
Sitting and burning?
How many trees have decayed on this island?
How many bones in the soil have disappeared?
Your candle is shorter than mine
(We don't have much time)
I'm trying to show you
Can't keep pretending it's fine
(Or keep up the lies)
Will I ever know you?
All your dreams and memories
All your fears have landed you here
Looking at your legacy
Wondering what to say to me
How many times has this silence
Felt like a failure?
How many stars have decayed on the skyline?
How many bones in my body are shaped like yours?
Your candle is shorter than mine
(We don't have much time)
I'm trying to show you
Can't keep pretending it's fine
(Or keep up the lies)
Will I ever know you?
All your dreams and memories
All your fears have landed you here
Looking at your legacy
Wondering what to say to me
All your traits and tragedies
All the gifts you handed me
Here, look at your legacy
Some things may never be
Years and years and years go by
Living silent side by side
This house was built long ago
No telling what these walls may hold
And what is buried underneath
The bones and secrets that we keep
We're not the first to be afraid
That what we built will one day fade
All your dreams and memories
All your fears have landed you here
Looking at your legacy
Wondering what to say to me
All your traits and tragedies
All the gifts you handed me
Here, look at your legacy
Some things may never be
