I am afraid of my nostalgic past
I am afraid of standing close to the rift again
The shimmering water in this gorge that separates you from me
This spectral abyss laughs at the fact that our distance makes me fall apart
Is it true that the northern lights only glimmer at night
Maybe if I hold on tight it will drag me into the night
I try to remember that our love is interminable
I often wonder
If my face is fading or if everything's darker now
Will I find out someday if my fear turns to the other side
When I'm stuck in this dark abyss
I try to remember the most beautiful word
Cellar door
I can easily handle the physical pain
But when you walk away
The pain within my chest sustains
Remember the time when you smelled that mystic sound
Of my heart's sudden stop
But you turned it around
I try to keep my head straight
So I can distinguish this spectral abyss from my life
Is it only I who can feel this mental strife
I feel so numb and incomplete
I am incomplete, without you.
