Roughly Human - Darkroom Ablaze Lyrics

Why do I remember that look you've got
Still the image renders at such a cost
Trapped inside the virtual yet your embrace felt analogue
Can't keep attention but I would gaze at you until dawn
Several years just disappear
Without present keeping near
Now buried inside the lost and found
Ringing through a long forgotten sound
I'm ill-equipped to deal with this
Sinking feeling of distance
I'll pour one out for memories
Let the ghosts finally have their peace
Maybe we had never loved at all
But it's hard to see clear past the fall
Only arguments like waves arise
And perhaps the color of your eyes
Burnt my bridges
Yet the incense
Calming to the mind
Rolls of film
In fire proof boxes
Love you left behind
I'm ill-equipped to deal with this
Sinking feeling of distance
I'll pour one out for memories
Why can't ghosts finally have their peace
Elusive or illusory
Visions through the camera lens
Paper plastic, semiconductor
Worn phrases and images
Fading a little more each cycle
The whirlpool spins ever faster
Acids in the darkroom bubble
No amount of light encroaching upon unexposed film
Can destroy the blue of the iris
Chilling, piercing through me
Adoring gaze
Lovely display
Now gone
Gone away
Before the strife
Brought me to life
Caught by surprise ya
Twisted the knife
Where to begin
Feeling, please end
Burning inside
Fading to white
Funeral garb
Hearse in the yard
Sermon subpar
Send my regards
Way past its zenith
This time I mean it
Never as simple
As us in the pictures
Used to be fixtures
Nothing will fix us
Here we're affixed
Forever's a moment
I never did own it
Move without grace gone
Set it ablaze huh
This is my space song
Farewell embrace song
My darling so long
My darling so long
My darling so long
And farewell
Why do I remember that look you've got
When I take a picture of what you're not
Of what you're not
