So Andrei and I conceived this piece about 3 months ago, we both recorded our parts about 2 months ago, but we’ve had the track in post-production since then. This will definitely appear to music pretty soon, but we both thought that it could stand okay raw for people that like poetry.
As always, the poem is below for people that like to read along.
You’re Gone
[Bullfrog]
I loved everything about you,
From your nervous smile to the way your face would flush without warning when you felt the slightest bit uncomfortable.
And since you’ve gone there’s just some little things,
Sensory memory triggers of the joy you used to bring.
A certain sound, a familiar scent,
That rockets my brain to a place that’s so far beyond reminiscent.
It’s like I’m physically there again, but years ago,
And it’s so hard to bare but then I just can’t let go.
Even if I wanted to – it’s just impossible.
The thoughts bring so much pain and cause me to break up,
But anguish is a flaw that couldn’t be hidden with masks or make-up.
So the more I try to conceal how I feel the more the cracks keep showing.
I’ve done everything I can do, how the fuck am I still going?
[Andrei]
The days pass by but I still cry
I look up and stare at the sky
Thinking about seeing you everytime I see a plane fly ‘
I wish I was in there,on my way to see you and never say bye
At night,I look up at the stars and see your beautiful eyes
Then I look down to ground,see you’re not here and I frown
I see no hope around,just fear and I slowly drown
People tell me keep on going and don’t stop trying
So I start lying,pretending and fake smiling
Even though inside,I have all this shit that’s piling
Up,like a mountain and i’m rapidly falling
I thought at one point maybe,but I knew I wouldnt be spared
I faced death and right trough my soul it stared
And it paired me with an angel that had no wings or hair
Both broken and tared because to us life wasn’t fair
I tried climbing out of here,but I fell in a deeper pit
The torch has been put off and it might never again get lit
My heart got slit ever since you left in the mist as we split
[Bullfrog]
When you left I just couldn’t function for the longest of times.
Thoughts of the moments that we’d now never share kept playing in my mind.
Things I never said and would now never get the chance to say
The future I’d envisioned with you slowly melted away.
It was precarious times for me trying to find hope,
Touch-and-go,
More often than not feeling like a blind man walking a tight rope.
But ever so slowly I started to restore my confidence.
The fog slowly lifted like a coma patient regaining consciousness.
I started placing more and more trust in myself, that’s what freed me.
How could I expect people to believe until I at least believed in me.
How long it’ll be until I’ll finally not miss you is still too early to tell
But I know for certain that every now and then you’ll miss me as well
