lyrics

It seems strange just sitting here watching you fall asleep
so I'm thinking of leaving just so you can get some peace
and I've seen so many people but I've not heard one of them speak
seems we're all keeping it down just to hear you breath

they say silence is golden
but no amount of wealth
can ever make up for an absence of health
so I'll make as much noise as I can without leaving my seat

I've never been more unaware of the presence of light
as it fills up the room and embodies the absence of life
and this bed is the vessel that holds our attentions so tight
as the same unspoken dialogues carry us into the night

so with your arms in the air shout I'm not afraid to die
with your arms in the air shout i'm not afraid to die
and with your friends by your side
can we keep you alive
for one last moment to remember you by

We'll all be going home alone tonight
We'll all be going home alone tonight
