Capstan - Elysian Fields lyrics

You always swore to me you'd only
Admire the sky from afar
(Rather than leave)
With the clouds beyond the moon and stars
Up there is such an empty place
So open and vague and the fact
That it gave you hope
It showed on your face

Now it's so real to me

Were you so lost in emptiness that
Hope became a foreign phrase
Diluted and forgotten in the endless daze

I never knew how much hate a heart could hold
A constant obsession with
Death and depression
Marked you astray took you away
But I still feel your loneliness
Like everyday in the worst way
I'm drowning in the thoughts
And the memories
I'm sinking in your absence, in your passing

I found you in a room saying
Words I thought you never meant

Quite the sight for sore eyes isn't it
Watching my stability fall apart
Highlighting my imperfections as a
Work of art
I just don't think
I can make things work like they did before
This comatose state won't be ignored

I'm sorry you were so lost and empty
That hope became a foreign phrase
But I won't forget you for
The rest of my days

I never knew how much hate a heart could hold
A constant obsession with
Death and depression
Marked you astray took you away
But I still feel your loneliness
Like everyday in the worst way
I'm drowning in the thoughts
And the memories
I'm sinking in your absence, in your passing

On your death bed
You left your final words and they read

My world's become an empty place
Void of comfort I felt death's embrace
With open arms I fell back
I want to see the black
