Ephemeral Memories

[Verse] In the depths of my mind, a flickering flame A faded photo, hangs upon the wall (wall) A memory lost, like whispers in the wind I watch it fade away, feeling so small [Verse 2] The faces once so vibrant, full of life Now just a blur, a distant silhouette (silhouette) Frozen in time, trapped in a frame A snapshot of a love I'll never forget [Chorus] Now it's just a ghost, haunting my mind (haunting my mind) A relic of the past, frozen in time (frozen in time) Ephemeral memories, slowly fade away (fade away) Leaving me with nothing, but a still life display [Verse 3] I trace the lines upon their faces, worn with age Each crease a story, each wrinkle a sigh (a sigh) But time's relentless march, it knows no pause And in its wake, all that's left is goodbye [Verse 4] Yet still I hold on, to that flickering flame To the echoes of laughter, the warmth of their touch (their touch) For even as they fade into the mist Their essence lingers on, I cherish it much [Chorus] Now it's just a ghost, haunting my mind (haunting my mind) A relic of the past, frozen in time (frozen in time) Ephemeral memories, slowly fade away (fade away) Leaving me with nothing, but a still life display memories, slowly fade away (fade away) Leaving me with nothing, but a still life display [Bridge] But in that stillness, there's a beauty to behold A quiet reverence, for all that once was (once was) For though they may be gone, their love remains A beacon in the darkness, guiding me with its cause [Outro] So I'll embrace this still life, with all its pain For within its frame, lies a treasure untold (untold) And though the memories may fade and decay Their love will endure, eternal and bold
