Wishes in the Silence

How does the traffic hum along the street?

How do the clocks still tick to their own beat?

Fourteen years of loyalty,

no shadow

of a doubt

Now the loneliest season has turned the fires out

Oskar, your name comes like a trick of the mind

And the tears start to fall for what we left behind

(ohhh) I wish you came along,

I wish you were right here

Every road I walk is empty,

every milestone is severe

They tell me that the pain will fade with every passing year

But the tears inside are crying,

and they will not disappear

Two years gone, but it feels like yesterday

I turn to the dark when the light fades away

When the crowd disperses and the rooms grow cold

I hold onto the history that can't be sold

(where did you go)

And they call it healing,

but I call it betrayal

To let myself move on and let your memory pale

So I will stand right here,

stubborn in my grief

Devoted to the ghost of my absolute belief

I refuse to heal

I will keep you real

I wish you came along... (Oskar...)
