Whispers of Departure: Fade to Grey

Indie Rock Song Exploring the Pain Of Loss and the Process Of Letting Go.


Lyrics -

(Verse 1)
The coffee's cold again
Another morning doesn't end
With your laughter in the room
Just the quiet, chasing gloom
Every corner holds a trace
Of a time I can't erase
A ghost in the hallway light
Haunting me throughout the night

(Chorus)
And it's a slow fade to grey
Watching colours drain away
From the picture in my mind
The one I have to leave behind
Oh, this heavy, aching space
Where I used to see your face
Learning how to break the hold
A story getting old

(Verse 2)
Walk the streets we used to know
The familiar places go
From comfort zones to painful sights
Beneath the unforgiving lights
Got your t-shirt on the chair
A silent question hanging there
Do I fold it? Put it away? Or live inside yesterday?

(Chorus)
And it's a slow fade to grey
Watching colours drain away
From the picture in my mind
The one I have to leave behind
Oh, this heavy, aching space
Where I used to see your face
Learning how to break the hold
A story getting old

(Bridge)
Was it right? Was it wrong?
How can silence feel so strong?
A final word, a closing door
Leaving footprints on the floor...
But the echo starts to fade
A difficult parade
Of memories I clutch so tight
Trying to step back into the light

(Instrumental Break / Solo)

(Chorus)
Yeah, it's a slow fade to grey
Watching colours drain away
From the picture in my mind
The one I have to leave behind
Oh, this heavy, aching space
Where I used to see your face
Learning how to break the hold
A story getting old

(Outro)
Fade to grey...
