de mortuis nil nisi bonum

Yours the face of darkness
yours the face of light
showed me twice what harm is
for all you taught me right

Yours the air I’m breathing
yours the words of doom
I’ve been suffocating
because I can’t speak ill of you

Yours the love I’m sending
yours the hate I have to give
I’ll try to find the ending
the one where I forgive

Mine these words I’m sending
mine the task at hand
to let you go and let you know
I know, I may never understand

Mine an air of freedom
that you can’t take from me
my imaginary kingdom
in my castle by the sea

Mine an air of vengeance
mine an air of love an air of grace
and maybe when I close my eyes
I wont see your face

Ours this hidden story
hidden deep within our heart
this pain and hope unites us
our two broken hearts

I know your different now
in the place you are
but I am still living here
and I must bear these scars

Here I am and here I’ll be
until the nightmares have ceased
and maybe on that day
we’ll both rest in peace
