[The Empty Frame] [ Verse 1: Intimate Vulnerable Vocals ] The sun is crawling slowly up the bedroom wall I’m waiting for a shadow that will never fall The right side of the mattress is a vacant space The ticking of the clock is all I have to face [ Pre-Chorus 1: Building Emotional Tension, Passionate Vocals ] The silence is a weight that I can't even lift I watch the golden patterns on the carpet shift [ Chorus 1: Soaring Passionate Vocals, Raw Emotional Power ] I’m searching for a reason in the morning glare I’m trying to remember how to breathe the air This grief is just a river that I’m forced to learn I’m watching every bridge that I can never burn [ Verse 2: Intimate Vulnerable Vocals ] I’m staring at the kettle till the water boils The coffee tastes so thin within the kitchen oils Your velvet cushioned seat is turning grey with grit I haven't found the courage yet to sit in it [ Pre-Chorus 2: Building Emotional Tension, Passionate Vocals ] This heavy air is weighing like a leaden blade I’m learning how to settle in the quiet shade [ Chorus 2: Soaring Passionate Vocals, Raw Emotional Power ] I’m searching for a reason in the midday sun I’m trying to remember how the race was run This grief is just a river that I’m forced to swim I’m watching as the edges of the world go dim [Instrumental Break - Melodic Solo and Dynamics] [ Bridge: Climactic Soulful Belt, Explosive Passion, Punchy Rhythm ] I take the silver border to the porch outside The moon is hanging low with nowhere left to hide This empty picture frame is biting at my hand I’m holding on to shadows in a lonely land [ Verse 3: Intimate Vulnerable Vocals ] The wind is whistling secrets through the garden gate I’m learning how to carry all this heavy freight I’m looking at the cosmos and I feel so small The planets keep on spinning while the darkness sprawls [ Pre-Chorus 3: Building Emotional Tension, Passionate Vocals ] The memory is burning underneath my skin I’m opening the door to let the winter in [ Final Chorus: Soaring Passionate Vocals, Raw Emotional Power ] I’m finding every reason in the dark of night I’ve given up on trying to make things right This grief is just a river that is flowing through I’m finally accepting that I’m losing you [ Outro: Upfront Dry Vocals, Fading Emotional Resonance ] Time is just a river moving over stones I’m learning how to live inside these hollow bones The coffee’s getting colder in the morning light I’m walking through the silence of a world made white
