A Song for You - Kishi Bashi

A song for you

I wrote in memory

As faint as anything

We etched into the walls

It’s all for you

We called the venomous

To silent strike on any vein

Like a bayonet array

In the afternoon

When did you

Fill out the melody?

With sacred innocence

In the middle of the war

I fought for you

The pride in every light

That shined upon your face

From a memory erased

It’s all for you

We pledged to send a photograph

Of every frame, of every laugh

We meant to have

A song for you

A song for you

A song for you

It’s all for you

A song for you

A song for you

I wrote in memory

As faint as anything

We etched into the walls

It’s all for you

The pride of every light

That shined upon your face

Like a memory erased

A song for you

A song for you

A song for you

It’s all for you

A song for you
