[Intro: Slow crushing fuzzy guitar riff, ringing cymbals] [Verse 1: Haunting clean vocals, crawling slow tempo] My footprints are gone In every tear you left behind Echoes of heartbeats break the silence A goodbye like a caress and your name in the mirror There are no shadows in the night It drips from my fingers Then it fades away [Pre-Chorus] And I held that ending Like a wound with a ring So silent, so sacred The wind died as it entered [Chorus: Monolithic heavy chords, dragging rhythm] Goodbye, eternal caress Let me go slowly Goodbye, eternal caress I still haven't let you go Goodbye, eternal caress Salt in my chest Goodbye, eternal caress I carry the rest [Verse 2] The rust slips From the heart of steel The storm fell upon The Stopping Time I count every splinter Where your hand used to be Every little hour broken Is a reason to die [Pre-Chorus] And I clung to that ending Like a wound with a ring So silent, so sacred The wind died as it entered [Chorus: Monolithic heavy chords, dragging rhythm] Goodbye, eternal caress Let me go slowly Goodbye, eternal caress I still haven't let you go Goodbye, eternal caress Salt in my chest Goodbye, eternal caress I carry the rest [Bridge: Trippy psychedelic bluesy guitar solo, heavy distortion] Under the black water I learned your shape by heart Even the darkness listens When you tear me apart If I crawl out of this ruin Will you call me? Or will you leave me in the bed of ashes? Where the crows chase me? [Final Chorus] Goodbye, eternal caress let me go slowly Goodbye, eternal caress I still haven't let you go Goodbye, eternal caress Salt in my chest Goodbye, eternal caress I carry the rest [Outro: Fading guitar feedback, slow drum beats]
