Still Life - Brandtson

Woke up slow this morning to quiet walls and a sunlight flood

This place it seems so empty

And everything except for this wait has left me

Try not to dwell on this time

How long can it last?

Hold your breath and close your eyes

The pain will pass

Try to rise above the distance of all that you want

And soon you’ll know the why

Why and for what

For the sake of a love like no other

For something we’ve never known

For the hope of another chance at happiness

We forsake

I’ve watched the colors fade where windows cast their shape

The same way i have changed in the light of these dark days

I believe in happiness and in love that never fails

But the longer i wait here the more they just seem like a fairy tale

I need you to save me

You seem beyond a stones throw

Helpless hands tied

I try but this garden’s overgrown on the inside

Try to rise above the distance of all that i want and remember the why

Why and for what
