A poignant indie rock ballad that captures the raw emotions of a brother mourning his deceased sibling. As he stands by his brother's grave, he reflects on the family left behind, from a mother who still calls for him, to a father who immerses himself in lost hobbies. The haunting melody is complemented by a bittersweet tone, as the brother grapples with guilt and longing, all while the family dog waits by the door, oblivious to the tragedy. This song resonates with anyone who has experienced loss and the aching journey of remembrance.
Instrumental Intro
(Soft guitar strumming and sorrowful synths paint a haunting landscape, allowing the listener to feel the weight of absence before words are spoken.)
I stand here dressed in shadows, beneath the slate-grey sky,
Where the cold earth cradles whispers, of a love that did not die.
Mom still calls your name softly, like it's carved in the air,
But she won't see your face, she forgets it isn't there.
[Chorus]
Are you listening, brother, in the silence of the night?
The world keeps turning on, but nothing feels right.
With every breath I take, I feel the weight of your grace,
In the echoes at the grave, I still long for your embrace.
[Verse 2]
Dad took to your guitar, strumming memories awake,
Painting the walls with laughter, but my heart starts to break.
I hide behind the sorrow, the questions I can’t face,
Did I let you down somehow, in this unforgiving space?
[Chorus]
Are you listening, brother, in the silence of the night?
The world keeps turning on, but nothing feels right.
With every breath I take, I feel the weight of your grace,
In the echoes at the grave, I still long for your embrace.
[Instrumental Break]
(Soft guitar strumming and lingering synths create a haunting soundscape, evoking the feelings of loss and reflection, allowing listeners to immerse in the emotions.)
[Bridge]
And the dog waits by the door, tail wagging in the gloom,
Not knowing you won't come back, not sensing the dark room.
I look into his eyes, searching for a sign,
But the answer lies somewhere, buried deep in time.
[Chorus]
Are you listening, brother, in the silence of the night?
The world keeps turning on, but nothing feels right.
With every breath I take, I feel the weight of your grace,
In the echoes at the grave, I still long for your embrace.
[Outro]
So I leave my heart here, laid beneath your stone,
Whispering to the winds, that I'm never alone.
In the silence of the night, I’ll keep searching for you,
Until the stars come calling, I'll hold on to what's true.
