Rest Well Silas (Remix)

(Soft, melancholic synth pads fading in)

(Gentle, slow rhythmic pulse)

The thirteenth day of July, the sky turned into grey

A sudden storm of silence took my whole world away

I'm tracing every shadow where your laughter used to bloom

But now the weight of absence hangs heavy in the room

I look at all your pictures, I memorize your face

Searching for a memory that time cannot erase

It's quiet in the hallway, it's quiet in my chest

Trying to find a moment where my heavy heart can rest

Oh Silas, my boy, you were the morning sun

But the race was finished before it had begun

I’m holding onto whispers, I’m holding onto stars

Trying to heal the hollow, trying to hide the scars

I love you through the darkness, I love you through the pain

Until I see your beautiful smile shining once again

I keep your favorite sweater hanging by the door

I can't believe I'm walking on this broken wooden floor

I wonder if you're dancing where the golden spirits play

If you can hear me crying in the middle of the day

They tell me it gets better, they tell me I’ll be fine

But they don't know the treasure that I lost within the time

You were my greatest promise, you were my guiding light

Now I’m navigating shadows in the middle of the night

Oh Silas, my boy, you were the morning sun

But the race was finished before it had begun

I’m holding onto whispers, I’m holding onto stars

Trying to heal the hollow, trying to hide the scars

I love you through the darkness, I love you through the pain

Until I see your beautiful smile shining once again

Time moves like a river that’s frozen in the cold

You’re staying forever, you’re never growing old

I’ll carry all your goodness, I’ll carry all your grace

Until the day I finally see your beautiful face

Oh Silas, my boy, you were the morning sun

But the race was finished before it had begun

I’m holding onto whispers, I’m holding onto stars

Trying to heal the hollow, trying to hide the scars

I love you through the darkness, I love you through the pain

Until I see your beautiful smile shining once again

Rest now, my angel, sleep within the light

Everything is peaceful, everything is bright

July thirteenth, you found your wings to fly

Goodbye, my Silas, goodbye, my boy, goodbye

(Soft, lingering pads fading into silence)
