Lyrics
Grey in the morning, the church bell is breathing in cold. Names on the headstones, the stories no one ever told. She waits by the window, dust on the glass of her eyes, Holding a life that has faded before it could rise. No one calls her name, no footsteps at her door. She threads her pain like needles through the silence on the floor. All the forgotten faces, Buried in unseen places. Living their quiet tragedies, Dying with no one to grieve. All the forgotten faces, Lost in the empty spaces... Who will remember me When I cease to breathe? Old man in the chapel, polishing words for the dead, Speaking to pews and echoes instead of souls being led. He prays for forgiveness for hearts he never could save, Writes out their names, then lowers them into the grave. No one hears his voice, no trembling of the air. He lights the candles anyway, though no one’s there. All the forgotten faces, Buried in unseen places. Living their quiet tragedies, Dying with no one to grieve. All the forgotten faces, Lost in the empty spaces... Who will remember me When I cease to breathe? We are dust on the altar, Tears that never fall. Stories never spoken, Names no one recalls. Cold bones under stone, Unmarked, left alone. No prayers, no plea... Is this all we’ll ever be? All the forgotten faces, Gathered in nameless places. Living their quiet tragedies, Dying with no one to see. All the forgotten faces... If this is how it ends for me, Let my ashes scream That I used to be. Who will remember me?
