about

This honest look at our own mortality was inspired by a dream in which I traveled to the future--a few days after I had died. I watched a people I know and love and strangers alike went through the belongings I left behind. It might be an uncomfortable topic, but to recognize our transient mortality can help us appreciate our lives now.

lyrics

(chorus)
World moves on
When we’ve gone
No more songs
The world moves on

Our empty rooms
Strangers’ hands
They comb through
All we’ve ever had

A cardboard box
Full of secrets
Now cast off
Like thrown away trinkets

chorus

What matters most
To a ghost
When they look back
Across the gap

They will see
That yes, the world will mourn
But no waiting,
The world still turns

chorus

All that’s left
Is our bereft
They’ll have to decide
On the day we fly

What to sell
And what to save
What to do with the shadows
And echoes that remain

chorus

But for now
We’ll wait and wonder
As countless souls
Get cast asunder

We’ll wear our suits
And dress in black
We’ll comb their rooms
While they watch from across the gap

chorus
