What’s Left Behind (Verse 1) So... do you think you can tell? Static hum from the ghost in the wire? Can you tell a fever dream... from a slow and steady fire? I’ve been looking for you in the chemistry and glass Watching all the empty years and the milestones pass Did they get you to trade... your signature in the sky For a seat in the corner... and the victim of a "why"? (Chorus 1) It’s just the emptiness that follows, a quiet kind of hell We’re prisoners of a story that we don’t know how to tell I burned a lot of bridges just to feel the heat Wandering the ruins on a one-way street You didn’t just leave a shadow, you left a hurricane And we’re the jagged pieces... of what’s left behind. (Verse 2) Black... And blue... And who knows which is which and who is who... The sister... In white... Searching for your ghost in the middle of the night... The milestones are gravestones on a road that never ends Just the collateral damage of the family and the friends The clock upon the mantelpiece is ticking out of time And every breath I’m taking... feels like a mountain I must climb. (Bridge) Is there anybody out there?! I’m tired of the wreckage! How I wish you were here... (Chorus 2 / Outro) How I wish, how I wish you were here. We’re just the jagged pieces of what’s left behind. Running laps in an empty space... What’s left behind...
