Shatteredwake: The Shape of Absence

Lyrics: [Verse] There is a room inside me. It never changes. The dust remains. The silence remains. The door remains open. Nothing returns. Years pass. The room remains. Names fade. Faces fade. The absence stays. [Pre-Chorus] I carried it too long. I carried it alone. I carried it until the weight became familiar. [Chorus] This is the shape of absence. Cold. Permanent. Unmoved. This is the shape of absence. A wound without blood. A grave without stone. A voice without sound. [Verse] The world kept moving. I did not. The seasons changed. I did not. The clocks continued. I remained here. Waiting. Watching. Listening. For something that never arrived. [Pre-Chorus] The fight is gone. The anger is gone. Only the vacancy remains. [Chorus] This is the shape of absence. Cold. Permanent. Unmoved. This is the shape of absence. A wound without blood. A grave without stone. A voice without sound. [Bridge] No answers came. No revelations arrived. No meaning appeared. Only time. Endless time. Layer after layer. Until the emptiness became part of the architecture. ] [Breakdown] I cannot fill it. I cannot replace it. I cannot destroy it. I can only carry it.
