🎵Epitaph - Epitaph For Emily🎵

[Intro] Here lies the hope we used to hold. Here lies the story that we told. Rest in peace. Rest in pain.

[Verse 1] The grass is growing over what we used to be, A quiet meadow by a dark and silent sea. I trace the letters carved into the polished stone, Two broken names that learned to survive alone. We were a wildfire once, a blinding summer sun, Before the damage and the secrets were begun. Now all the ashes have been settled by the rain, Washing away the final remnants of the pain. I leave a flower on the dirt above your head, A final tribute to the words we left unsaid.

[Verse 2] I don't look back with fury, I don't look back with spite, The long, exhausting war has ended in the night. You were my absolute, my beautiful mistake, The deepest slumber that I ever had to wake. The betrayals don't sting me, the lies have lost their teeth, Safe and protected from the shadows underneath. We built a tragedy and played our parts so well, Escaping from our custom-tailored little hell. The world moves onward and the sky is turning grey, As I prepare to finally turn and walk away.

[Chorus] This is the epitaph of you and me! The final monument to our eternity! Carved in the marble of a cold acceptance sky, The beautiful ending where the memories go to die! We were a masterpiece that suffered a collapse, Falling completely through the spaces in the maps! Sleep well forever in the quiet of the ground, Where not a single word of love can make a sound!

[Verse 3] I hear the wind whisper your name across the yard, A gentle reminder of the days when love was hard. But now the silence is a comfort to my soul, The jagged broken pieces blending to a whole. You cannot hurt me from the safety of the past, The suffocating shadow has been cleared at last. A peaceful graveyard where the flowers learn to bloom, Right on the ruins of our old, domestic room. I take a breath and feel the weight begin to lift, The final, tragic and necessary gift.

[Bridge] Let the dirt cover the light... Let the day fade into night. It’s over... it’s done... The battle is finished, and nobody won. We loved, we bled, we tore it apart! And left it all buried deep inside your heart! Goodbye to the pure! Goodbye to the ghost! Goodbye to the thing that I cherished the most!

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus] This is the epitaph of you and me! The final monument to our eternity! Carved in the marble of a cold acceptance sky, The beautiful ending where the memories go to die! We were a masterpiece that suffered a collapse, Falling completely through the spaces in the maps! Sleep well forever in the quiet of the ground, Where not a single word of love can make a sound!

[Outro] Here lies us. Spun glass and morning light. Turned to stone. Rest in peace.
