lyrics

Dear unknown
old friend
you know it's
been a while
since I understood
why I stopped
writing to you
All the reasons
have been
between the lines
hiding beneath
phrases of the
path that we
had been walking
But for me
we've never walked it
to the end
don't get me wrong
I know that
I'm the one
who stayed

In a place
that was never
meant for me
that was never
meant for me
To stay

I had a reason
to carry on
But as the last
bonfire faded
leaving behind
an empty chest
Morphing to
black materia
I became a
black hole
absorbing
only the worst
of me
making me my
greatest enemy
only one aim
was left
to set me free
well at least
I thought so
but I remembered
your voice
whispering
in my ear
telling me to wait
only one more decade
As I stood confused
at the cliffs edge
I swear I could
feel your soul
hugging me
But you were
so far away
It's as if you
could still feel me
down under
and a hundred
years apart
from each other

So I well understood
And took a step back
so I well understood
and took a step back

From a place that was
never meant for me
From a place that
belongs to you

You still linger
I'm telling you
my dear friend
in every
It's never
single chord I play
Your melody
In unison to me
to me

Dear unknown old friend
you know it's been a while
since I understood
why I stopped writing to you
