Look Back

Prelude

Shiver in the hallway shadows, two figures side by side

Bare bulbs flicker down the corridor, secrets tried to hide

Empty chairs echoed laughter, silence settles in

One voice trembles, one pulls further—where does sorrow begin

Ash and velvet curtain falls, another midnight hour

Words we never say out loud hang heavy, gaining power

Every step is measured here, ritual in loss

The lines we once crossed, are lines we never will cross again

Verse 1

Heavy heels dragging

Iron gates swinging slow on the hinge

You walk

I wait

Rusty nails biting into the palm of my hand

Ugly taste filling up my mouth

Dry dirt

Dead grass

Blood flows thicker than the river water today

Chorus

When you go forward will you ever look back

Shadows stretch out long

Cold across the track

Broken clock ticking

Holding on to nothing

Will you ever look back

Post-Chorus

Look back

Look back

Turning into stone

Left here all alone

Verse 2

Frost on the window

Frayed wires cutting through the empty gray sky

Static air

No breath

Losing every color that I used to recognize

Burying the memories, nothing but lies

Cold eyes

Sweet lies

Winter comes crawling up the staircase tonight

Chorus

When you go forward will you ever look back

Shadows stretch out long

Cold across the track

Broken clock ticking

Holding on to nothing

Will you ever look back

Post-Chorus

Look back

Look back

Turning into stone

Left here all alone

Bridge

Cut the rope

Burn the map

Break the seal

Now the sky starts falling

Now the ground starts shaking

Now the end starts calling

Guitar Solo

Chorus

When you go forward will you ever look back

Shadows stretch out long

Cold across the track

Broken clock ticking

Holding on to nothing

Will you ever look back

Post-Chorus

Look back

Look back

Turning into stone

Left here all alone

Outro

I remember everything

You forget it all

The distance

The distance

Will you ever look back

No answer at all
