Vestals - Virgo II Lyrics

Dear Mother
I've felt untethered
Since you've gone to sleep
Four winters and three springs to hide my pain so deep

One breath of silence
A noiseless scream
As if my heart was torn apart at the seams

Cut my tongue with despair
Void my lungs of their air

Be with me
In my heart and my mind
Eternity
In gentle sleep

Fill the night
With stars across the barren sky
And I'll find my way
Back to you one day

I don't want to feel this way anymore
Incomplete down to my core
Nothing can replace your faultless glee
Burdened by this heavy heart of grief

A somber ode
Of what you have left behind
Caliginous
Are the songs that the nightingale sings

The blood that courses through my veins
Embellished with your benevolence

The memories inside my head
Flourished with the sound of your voice

Still now, all my heart is filled with pain
And all of my mind it starts to wane

No, No
Why have you left me alone
Sadness and anger
Nest inside my bones
I turn to stone

I can't stop screaming inside my head

I'm afraid that in time you'll fade away
And my memories will die and fade to grey

And so I write you another melody to keep your fire bright
A luminous lighthouse to drape the ocean when I feel lost at sea
For no possession could replace your love you've given to me
Cast out the darkness embracing your spirit
As I take on the world

I'll never forget you reside in me
I'll never forget our perfect memories
You live inside me and remind me how to share peace
I'll never forget how you always thought of me
Held high in your heart from the moment that I could breathe
