this is the sound of loss. can you hear the echo?

I am a poor and wretched boy

Lost at sea with no shore in sight

She tossed me a line

But fell just a bit too short

...

Last night I heard the sound
The sound of your leaving
Loud voices screaming
Muffled by the wall
I hid my head under my pillow
Hoping it would fade

Last night I heard the sound
The sound of your leaving
The door slammed behind you
Only crying remained
You started your car
And I never saw you again

...

From nothing
to something
to everything
and back to nothing.
full circle
coming back again
move
before you're moved
duck
and be free

gripping, clawing
ripping, gnawing
reaching out
and pulling in
trying so hard
not to sink again
From nothing
to something
to everything
and back again
