Lyric

Shorter Lines Than Before

Tera Kira

An unread mail that I just found today

It is too late to find the words to say

"Why don't you write me back?" I used to sigh

Waiting for answers as the days went by

But now it’s gone, yes, it’s gone away

Into the light of a blinding day

Everything is gone

I forgot it all, forgot the thrill

The fading ghost is standing still

Into the sky, into the night

Everything just faded out of sight

We forgot it all, we forgot it all

I read the lines again, but I feel blank

No heavy waves upon this riverbank

I used to read them with a beating heart

Shaking with joy right from the very start

But now it’s gone, yes, it’s gone away

Into the dark where the shadows play

Everything is gone

I forgot it all, forgot the thrill

The fading ghost is standing still

Into the sky, into the night

Everything just faded out of sight

We forgot it all, we forgot it all

The words are short, so dry and rather plain

It ends so fast, leaving no hidden pain

We used to write so long, a endless text

Pouring our souls, wondering what comes next

But now it’s gone, yes, it’s gone away

Into the morning of a brand new day

Everything is gone

No more crying, no more waiting up

No more staring at an empty cup

The digital ink has finally dried

Along with all the tears I cried

Forgot it all

The unread mail

The faded tale

In the morning light

Everyone, everything

Gone
