The Void

[Verse 1]

Why’d you go and do that? Cause we’ve, been wanting you back

You showed up with no kids and a stranger who was your new man

You left in a hurry somewhere that you had to be

You were only in your thirties but full of such apathy

Place to place, what happens with an absent father figure

Now your sons will have to live their lives without a mother since you’re

Gone, I wish you hadn’t done it after all

Not like it matters, I should have replied to you, that’s my fault

It was late September on an unassuming day

I can still remember how we couldn’t soothe that pain

And then December came around, that Christmas hit us even harder

Unlike anything I’d felt, we missed your aura’s fleeing ardor

Now every night, I make a list what I’ll do in the morning

That’s because of you, you told us that you did that as restoring

Order to your life, cause' given your upbringing

Not surprised always an episode away from just sinking

[Chorus]

Wait, I wrote no alibi

Indecisive, have to lie

Serenity is still unfound

I constantly will disavow

Wait, I wrote no alibi

Indecisive, have to lie

Serenity is still unfound

I constantly will disavow

Forgive me while I commit

This horrible injustice

I’ve suffered, yes I do admit

And you’ll just have to trust this

Listed the alternatives

But none will cover everything

Have this much here left to give

Keep me in mind now when you sing

[Verse 2]

A life has been taken but I won’t be taking mine

The end result is the same, so I can just wait in line

Persist indefinitely then succumb to natural causes

Do not console me when you don’t know what an actual loss is

Don’t mistake my steady silence for a lack of grief

If I had sent a signal, would you send one back to me?

Words that I regret, and words that I didn’t mean

I was just upset you relapsed and were no longer clean

If only you had stuck around to finish up your sleeves

Maybe then we’d go out drinking for a moment of reprieve

Misbehaved and fought the cops, arrested in the street

You’d left the house around 11 then our job had been complete

48 hours and you would send an apology

Sometimes I miss those nights when you’d show up right after calling me

Memories will occupy the void that can’t be filled

I’ll try to speak up here on out, we can’t avoid what can’t be killed

[Chorus]

Wait, I wrote no alibi

Indecisive, have to lie

Serenity is still unfound

I constantly will disavow

Wait, I wrote no alibi

Indecisive, have to lie

Serenity is still unfound

I constantly will disavow

Forgive me while I commit

This horrible injustice

I’ve suffered, yes I do admit

And you’ll just have to trust this

Listed the alternatives

But none will cover everything

Have this much here left to give

Keep me in mind now when you sing
