Now we can't see your face
(Trapped behind the walls)
And we can't say the words
All the things you need to hear from us
When the sound of your voice
(Hold fast just for one more word)
Has forever been silenced
In this casket that we all surround
Stifling your congregation
Sanctioned asphyxiation
We filter all the air within their lungs
Righteous words we disgrace
(We all let you down)
Search for meaning within our shame
We're the ones to blame
As you slip away
We're sinking like a stone
Slowly sinking to the abyss
Ascending to grace
As we approach the bottom
You're worlds away forever glowing
(We are all gathered here today
To commemorate the past)
Lives we've led
(Oh, but behind the woven masks
Of all our mourning there lies)
What we know
Pull the rug out from under us
Complicating your fate
They're unlocking the gates
No time left to discuss
Pull the rug out from under us
Blindsided by your death
You've exhaled your last breath
No time left to discuss
(We're falling apart)
As you slip away
We're sinking like a stone
Slowly sinking to the abyss
Ascending to grace
As we approach the bottom
You're worlds away forever glowing
As you slip away
As you slip away
Emotions are fleeting
(Detached from it all, detached from it all)
Disconnected from the world
(Watching everything crumble from the inside)
Inside our demise
(We will be grieving you)
Disconnected from the world
(We're still falling apart)
As you slip away
We're sinking like a stone
Slowly sinking to the abyss
Ascending to grace
As we approach the bottom
You're worlds away forever glowing
Leaving behind who you once were
Becoming the guardian
Leaving behind who you once were
Becoming the guardian
(Now we can't see your face)
Leaving behind who you once were
Becoming the guardian
(Now we can't see your face)
Leaving behind who you once were
Becoming the guardian
