Elysian Fields - Capstan

You always swore to me you’d only admire the sky from afar

(Rather than leave)

With the clouds beyond the moon and stars

Up there is such an empty place

So open and vague, and the fact that it gave you hope

It showed on your face

Now it’s so real to me

Were you so lost in emptiness that hope became a foreign phrase?

Diluted and forgotten in the endless daze

I never knew how much hate a heart could hold

A constant obsession with death and depression marked you astray

Took you away, but I still feel your loneliness like every day in the worst way

I’m drowning in the thoughts and the memories

I’m sinking in your absence, in your passing

I found you in a room saying words I thought you never meant

Quite the sight for sore eyes, isn’t it?

Watching my stability fall apart

Highlighting my imperfections as a work of art

I just don’t think I can make things work like they did before

This comatose state won’t be ignored
