about

Inheritance cycle, part 5: (He flickers in and out of corporeal form. He is alone now, and no longer the furious wraith he began as. He remembers the last look she gave him before her final departure. What was the point? Why did fate show him to her, and her to him? What sin did he commit in life to deserve this torture? He cannot remember. He no longer scares trespassers away. He no longer fills the air with wails and moans. His footsteps do not echo in the corridor. Yet still he remains, invisible and omnipresent in the ghastly remnants of his abode. He cannot leave now. He risks never catching a glimpse of her again."

lyrics

I see a light through the grey
when you speak to me
though to others you appear the fool
singing to an empty room.
I try in vain to comfort you
A wind through the curtains from the other side.
And though I was never truly there
You see me for who I am.
Would that I could fill the empty silent halls
Show others that you do not love in vain.
Yet here, in your world, I am thin air
A flickering image only you see meaning in.
Trust me when I say, it is you who keeps me here
It is you who makes me real.
I would release you if it was right to
I would tear this curse down brick by brick.
All I can offer is a hand you cannot grasp
I wouldn't blame you for moving on.
Know that even when you can't see me
I am there, and my thoughts are of you.
Words of farewell were spoken long ago
And you left me soundlessly
And I, unable to leave this ruinous place
Collapse atop my bleak inheritance.
