Duration: P00H05M36S
Description: I had mistakingly thought that an apt of a friend of mine had burned down. I went to go see the building as it was burning, and since it was in the middle of a semi-busy street, i wasn't able to get close. I thought about all the memories we had there, and went home and recorded this tune. (only to find out later i was wrong!! haha)

I had mistakingly thought that an apt of a friend of mine had burned down. I went to go see the building as it was burning, and since it was in the middle of a semi-busy street, i wasn't able to get close. I thought about all the memories we had there, and went home and recorded this tune. (only to find out later i was wrong!! haha)

lyrics

Through all the fire and smoke
my time and memories lifted
seems those spirits win again
with nothing to loose
i went chasing the vapor
my hands full of air
not a sound from the outside
the daylight held me there

free

So i focus on the flames
licking where i stood
loosing my way
to end up where i've been
thought i'd be thankful
to watch it all burn
where so silently the murder
of me went down

free

the ghosts of those days
have escaped into the air
once trapped in that shelter
they could be anywhere
but i stay outside
cause i'm stronger now
more thursty for life
in the dreams that i found

free
