[Intro] Your message found me somewhere between midnight and regret. I watched the letters settle like a death I hadn't met. [Verse 1] I watched the clock keep moving as your universe stood still, Heard the silence in your sentences, the things you couldn't spill. Somewhere in the wreckage of a night that wouldn't end, You were learning how forever could be taken from a friend. Still here... Still here... [Verse 2] I've seen the daylight crawl across the faces left behind, Like the sun was never told about the darkness in their minds. Every room becomes a witness, every photograph a blade, Every ordinary second holds the ghost of yesterday. [Pre-Drop] And the world... The world just keeps on turning. Like nothing happened. [Chorus] STILL HERE! WHEN THE HEAVENS DISAPPEAR! WHEN THE SILENCE STARTS TO SOUND LIKE EVERYTHING YOU FEAR! STILL HERE! THOUGH THE ANSWERS NEVER CLEAR! YOU CAN SCREAM INTO THE NOTHING! I'M STILL HERE! [Verse 3] I watched a lifetime get reduced to dates upon a stone, A thousand little conversations that can never make it home. And the calendar keeps turning like a knife inside the wall, While the pictures keep on smiling like they never knew the fall. There's a chair nobody sits in, There's a name nobody says, There's a thousand unfinished mornings Still imprisoned in your head. There's the guilt of being happy, There's the shame of feeling numb, There's the anger at the heavens For the mercy that won't come. And the clock ticks, heart kicks, breath sticks, walls shake, Sleep slips, mind splits, how much can a soul take? Same sky, same street, same goddamn sun, And the world keeps moving like it hasn't lost someone! [Build] SO TELL ME! WHO TAUGHT THE STARS TO SHINE ABOVE A HOUSE THAT'S FULL OF GRIEF? WHO TAUGHT THE WORLD TO CARRY ON WHEN SOMEONE CAN'T BELIEVE THEY'VE LEFT? Nobody answered. Nobody ever does. [Breakdown] STILL HERE! STILL HERE! [Bridge] I can't repair the empty space. Can't put a voice back in its place. Can't make the world return the years. Can't turn your silence into tears. And I won't ask you to be strong. Won't tell you where your heart belongs. Won't make you smile to ease my fear. I'll just be here. [Final Chorus] STILL HERE! WHEN THE HEAVENS DISAPPEAR! WHEN THE NIGHT HAS TAKEN EVERYTHING AND NOTHING FEELS SINCERE! STILL HERE! THROUGH THE DISTANCE AND THE YEARS! YOU DON'T HAVE TO SAY A SINGLE WORD! I'M STILL HERE! [Outro] The clock keeps moving. I know. You don't have to. Take your time. I'm still here.
