about

Written just weeks after Argast's grandfather passed away this song is filled with raw emotion. Everything dies and everything lives.

lyrics

Kept roses from you funeral
Hang them so they never grow old
More or less I can’t let go
Summers never felt this cold

Your silence was the loudest sound in the room
I was dead on arrival
You were dressed in blue
I couldn’t muster up the courage to kiss you
I could always said goodbye but I wish I said

I couldn’t see you in that bed
Ironically I was scared to death
When I saw you there wasn’t much left
You said don’t apologize I know you tried your best

How should I tell Mom
How should she move on
I’m not strong enough
I need you to hold on
Please don’t fall asleep
Please just stay with me
I haven’t said my peace

Your silence was the loudest sound in the room
I was dead on arrival
You were dressed in blue
I couldn’t muster up the courage to kiss you
I could always say goodbye but I wish I said I love you more

I wish I said I love you more

I wish I said I love you more

I wish I said I love you more

I wish I said I love you more

I talk to my ceiling
Hoping you’re the one listening
Things are not as bad as they seem
When I think you’re here with me

Your silence was the loudest sound in the room
I was dead on arrival

You were dressed in blue
I couldn’t muster up the courage to kiss you
I could always say goodbye but I wish said I love you more
