Tapers (feat. Mokshadripp)

I am an image on your wall
Painted over and dissolved
By an empty ring of dial tones
And a chorus of unanswered phones
A blinding light covers the scene
A flashlight forces you to freeze
Stay captured on a piece of film
Unbothered and completely still

And it's in my mind
And it's you I find
In a place to hide
And it's gone

And it's only when you're with me that I cannot see your face
If words could call out clearеr, you'd be nowhere near thе place
But you're right here on tape
And it'll never get away

Cold harsh lights fill the room
An open chasm straight to you
If you fall, you won't be coming back
Inside here's completely black
A picture hung above your bed
The shattered glass, the light goes dead
And the room is empty once again
And it's quiet on the other end

Nothing's different, nothing's changed
I am here, I am the same
The walls are slowly closing in
The room is getting dark again
Eyes that tremble, eyes that stare
And cut through every painted layer
She sees you as you really are
She's looking for an open door
In all the sounds, you disappear
An empty smile feels more sincere
A shadow cuts from end to end
The words are sounding clear again
Slowly drips until it dries
A photo left for me to find
And now it's hung up on the wall
Forever hung up on that wall

And it's hard to find
'Cause it's dark inside
Every word you cried
Is still here

And it only felt this empty 'cause you're gone without a trace
Was it worth the years of waiting just to rot and suffocate?
It feels so cold and icy, please mother, I need my mom
And it wasn't meant to take, but it was a gift to us all
And she's right here on tape
Yes, she's right here on tape
