the trees took this house
and the rain washed away
all the memories it held
the floorboards laid out
like cracked open ribs
where a heart had once dwelled
and it barely looks familiar anymore
and neither do I, I don't recognize
my reflection ever since you died
so here I am after so many years
the trees took this house
and the roots had held it down
the floor was covered in maple leaves
and countless washed away memories
his ashes were soaked into the ground
I tried to scream but there was no sound
Thomas can you still hear me I feel that I've lost my way
this house is no longer ours
my brothers ghost is hiding in my old room
as if it were a safe place to hide
but instead has become his tomb
my brothers still in my head
and he still haunts me every night
I live with only one regret
never having the chance to say goodbye
Thomas our family isn't mad
that you took your own life
we only wish that there was a way to go back
when you were still alive
just keep watching over us
and always keep us in mind
I'll be with you again someday
and it'll be just like old times
