about

Inspired by The Garden Of Evening Mists, by Tan Twan Eng.

lyrics

A mind can
Start to fade
Still feeling
Endless hate
You seem
Far away
We built a memory
From the debris
After losing
Everything
One hand
Shows an age
One hand
Shakes away
You seem
Far away
We built a memory
From the debris
After losing
Everything
This house is hoarding
Thoughts and talking
Through the losing
Of everything
Dig deep
Don’t forget
Some thoughts
Are better kept
Mist all
In these eyes
Preparing
Goodbye
We built a memory
From the debris
After losing
Everything
This house is hoarding
Thoughts and talking
Through the losing
Of everything
