lyrics

I STORED AN IMAGE OF YOU IN MY MIND
BUT THAT IMAGE STARTED FADING OVER TIME
I’VE CARRIED CRIPPLING GRIEF WITH ME
SINCE THE DAY YOU DIED
I OFTEN WISH THAT YOU WERE HERE WITH ME
STANDING BY MY SIDE
MANY YEARS HAVE PASSED AND I WAS HARD PRESSED
TO FILL THE EMPTY VOID
THAT YOUR PASSING LEFT WITHIN MY SOUL
EMOTIONALLY DESTROYED
UNTIL ONE DAY WHEN I WAS VISITING THE NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM
THEY WERE FEATURING AN EXHIBIT OF HUMAN PLASTINATION
AMIDST THE MAZE OF BODIES I STUMBLED UPON A FIGURE
IT EERILY RESEMBLED YOUR MANY SUBTLE FACIAL FEATURES

NOW I GO EVERY DAY AND STARE AT YOUR PLASTER BODY
THE IMAGE TAKES ME AWAY TO A WARM, HAPPY PLACE IN MY MEMORIES
