last words 03:28
stay back, don't touch me i'm just a little bit paralyzed stay back, don't watch me you'll see everything in my eyes (inhale) sun gleaming through the window failing to light the room reflecting what i don't know singing a random tune, ooh and i reminisce in the stillness imagine your heart on the balance while i feel my own break in a way i feared to know collect my thoughts and leave them scattered on the coffin, mm they're moving on but now we've gathered on a moment, clinging on electrified i close my eyes close them tight and realize what were the last words on your mind? the last words on your mind a prayer for another? or thoughts of a lover? a wish for a brother? a long lost dream, on a trip to the gutter now? and there's no way to explain just how the red-stained glass obscures your resting frame collect my thoughts and leave them scattered on the coffin, mm they're moving on, they're moving on, they're moving on electrified i close my eyes close them tight and realize what were the last words on your mind? the last words on your mind the last words on your mind the last words... the last words... the last words... we'll never know we'll never know we'll never know

about

"last words" is about necrophobia, the fear of others' deaths. the death of family and friends is always a hard thing, but despite running its course three or four times in my life- pets, grandparents, friends- i'm still incapable of navigating it. this song addresses that fear, from the lens of a funeral.

it's the second single off of "specters"- a concept album about my fears, some big and some small. nostraightanswer.bandcamp.com/album/specters
