Mount Eerie - My Chasm lyrics

I am a container of stories about you
And I bring you up repeatedly, uninvited too
Do the people around me want to
Keep hearing about my dead wife?
Or does the room go silent
When I mention you, shining alive?

I live with your absence and it's
Been two months since you died
I'll speak to your absence and carry
Our stories around my whole life
But when I'm in public I don't know
What's that look in their eyes
I now wield the power to
Transform a grocery store
Aisle into a canyon of pity and confusion
And mutual aching to leave

The loss in my life is a
Chasm I take into town
And I don't wanna close it
Look at me, death is real!
