The Silent Weight Of Grief Lyrics

I'm so proud of you, son

I am so proud of who you've become

Thank you dad

I couldn't have done it without you

I carry the silent weight of grief

An unseen shadow draped over my soul

I wear a smile, offer warmth

Yet beneath it all

I descend into an abyss, unknown

Death no longer frightens me, it whispers of peace

Of a quiet nothingness that I crave

The stranger in the mirror mocks me

His hollow grin, a mask I do not recognize

The pain never left

It only learned to hide in the folds of my shadow

With each passing second, the light dims

Retreating beyond my grasp

I stand abandoned

Untouched by the indifference of the world

The cold does not bite

The sadness does not fade

It lingers, faithful as ever

There is something broken within me

Something I do not know how to mend

I have lost my innocence

Lost the thread that once stitched me together

Now I am, but a hollow vessel

My only companion, the silence that enfolds me

Here, in this quiet void, I am safe

No one can wound me if I never let them in

Perhaps I was meant to be alone

Destined to walk alone among the echoes and shadows

And in the stillness of night

A bitter truth settles in

The departed know a peace I may never find.
