Slugdown - Reconnecting with a Stranger Lyrics

Now as you know I stand before a stranger I have known
But now the silence echoes in our gaze
I need no one to guide me through all this
I'll keep my pace, no need to clench my fists
Your words, your gaze, they fade into the grey
Here you stand but something's gone, and so
Are we, I won't be falling apart
The faded echoes are stirring the stillness within
This way, it's what I need, as I slowly turn away
Again, you know, there's nothing left to prove
You know, we stand where silence shapes the truth
Can somebody now pull me out of this
I'm slowly falling into my abyss
Your words, your gaze, they're cutting through the grey
Let me be now, f*ck this shit
I'm done with being pulled down by old memories
They seem not really to weigh on you as they should
But I see lines etched on your face, like tales carved into stone
So can you tell me now, why you slowly faded away?
Again, I know, your presence filled this hole in me
Now, you don't know, I held it all inside
I couldn't let you see my pain, my pride
You think I didn't care, it's not true
This mask I wore became my face for you
I need no one to get me through all this
I'm slowly fading into my abyss
My enemy's the truth, I fear that I'll drown in lies
