The Song by Alistair Chong

it hasn't been long
but already I've gone
lost in nothingness
let myself drown in it
because i can hear her soul
as she plays the song
and it's hurting

enter the start
the forlorn piano
tugs at my heart
with every note
the simple line
recites its eulogy
tormented tears intertwined
into the melody
enter the beat
the broken bass
simple in the heat
of tattered days
it barely remains
pale, weak yet shown
in unwavering trace
pulse becomes my own

it hasn't been long
but already I've gone
lost in nothingness
let myself drown in it
because i can hear her soul
as she plays the song
and it's hurting

enter her
the softest cry
lighter than a feather
breaks me up inside
sing the tune
melts into harmony
the dark side of the moon
shows her face to me
enter her words
saturated in pain
shattered under curse
recalls past chains
and she just
tears me with her verse

it hasn't been long
but already I've gone
lost in nothingness
let myself drown in it
because i can hear her soul
as she plays the song
and it's hurting

sing, sing your soul
let healing take its toll
as the song fades away
you rise the sun today
and feel the light
feel the light
