Are you the tree in the graveyard, 

or the fallen star I search for in the sky? 

You said the sky was the limit 

can you see me now, soaring beyond your reach?

 

I search for you in the faces of ghosts 

I once feared to face. 

Do you follow me, 

as I follow the trace of your steps?

 

Do you see me in the sun, 

its light burned into my eyes 

eyes that are yours, 

but carry a void you left? 

 

Is it you in the fog, 

holding me close when I can't breathe? Am I drowning in it, 

or is it your arms that won’t let go? 

 

Do you hear my cry, 

echoing in the thunder’s roar 

a sound that's very similar to yours now swallowed by the storm?
