Engraved

It's just another night when I swim deep in my memories
Looking for one of those precious moments buried in my thoughts
Hoping that I can grasp more than your silhouette
And fully remember

I cannot picture you as a whole
There's always something pushing me aside
And the more I relive these scenes
The more I'm pushed away from them
I am no longer part of them
I become nothing but a witness in the mist

I don't want to run out of these memories
I keep telling myself that I will not forget
That I don't deserve to move on
As everything I have in this life belongs to you before anyone else
But how do I keep you here forever?

I will let them know
I want them to see what I could see
And when you look down from the stars
You will find their eyes gazing up at you
As there won't be a single day that I don't fix this wasteland
In your name

Everyday whispering your name
Everyday reaching for your hand

Night after night I'm still questioning
What else can they take from me?

Before I lay to rest
I'll scratch the surface of the earth
And I won't stop until I
See your name engraved

Into the Earth
I'll have your name engraved
