lyrics

He woke feeling pretty down on his luck today,
all colorless and washed out.
A slow march,
then a pause,
then he fades away,
he fades into the nothing.

A bright painting that she hung in her gallery,
(There's no home so he's forced back out in the rain)
now colorless and washed out.
There is nothing inside of me,
(It's been years and everything still feels the same)
There is nothing.

They cut down the tree in the backyard today,
the one we carved our names in.
I remember how we laughed all our troubles away.
But it was damned and was fated to end.

Look how he copes with the death,
such a tragedy.
(There's no home so he's forced back out in the rain)
It hits him like a freight train over and over again,
those crippling memories.
(It's been years and everything still feels the same)
Like an angel.
But you're no angel to me.

I remember back then,
you were 23,
when you would dance like the leaves and I'd get lost in the trees.
But you were taken from me and if I ever got to see you again what would you say to me then?

The seasons don't change when you can't see the sun and I haven't felt the summer since you left me.
So pull the rope tight,
secure the knot,
and recite your last words for your angel to see.

I remember back then,
you were 23,
when you would dance like the leaves and I'd get lost in the trees.
But you were taken from me and if I ever got to see you again what would you say to me then?

I remember back then,
you were 23,
when you would dance like the leaves and I'd get lost in the trees.
But you were taken from me and I will never get to see you again what would you say to me then?
