Inheritor of Silence (feat. If I Were You)

I walked into our home, the silence felt so wrong
Expecting you to be the way you'd always been
But there you were, frozen in yesterday's space
I called your name, but your stare looked through my face
And when our eyes met I didn't see you anymore
The Goodbye yesterday wasn't meant to be the last

Father, I didn't know how much I needed you
Now I sit where you sat trying to feel you
And drown the pain too scared to accept the truth

Take me back to when you were whole
Before the shadows danced and the cancer took you
While your weak breath still echoes in my mind
I drink to forget, but the memories stuck in rewind
Terror in your eyes as you watched the shadows crawl

Father, I didn't know how much I needed you
Now I sit where you sat, trying to feel you
And drown the pain, too scared to accept the

Cancer the parasite, hollowing what was left
It took you in pieces, stealing every breath
Before the shadows danced and the cancer stole your soul
I watched you slip, and I still feel the shame
Take me back to when you were whole
Before the shadows danced, and the cancer stole your soul
Father, come back I can't see the light
God, save me from this fall from grace
I fight to move forward but I'm stuck in rewind
