about

This song is dedicated to my mother, Rosann.

lyrics

In some alternate reality
She opened up her eyes and looked around
And we sat there so impatiently
Desperate just to hear her make a sound

In that world no one watched
Red numbers falling
In that world no one said goodbye

No one knows how we’re supposed to function now
The silence is too real
The absence of a presence so commanding
And we’re not equipped to deal

Right now it’s hard to think that
The earth will keep on turning
How could we possibly have known

They say there are five stages you must go through
To come out the other side
It’s so easy to ignore them
To sleep, to retreat, to hide

It seems we’re all we’ve got now
Comrades in isolation
Who’ve got nowhere else to go

The ones who are left behind are the ones who suffer the time
The ones who are left behind are the ones who suffer the time
The ones who are left behind are the ones who suffer the time
The ones who are left behind are the ones who get more time
