With a Whimper

Unaware that something was in the air

Floating around us and slowly surrounding us whole

Was it a second, a day or a year

When you began to disappear

Do you remember the moment

You started to know it was done

With a whimper, not a bang

Not a lion, but a lamb

We just withered and died, like a lily outside in the cold

And through rome wasn't built in a day

It longer still to decay

Slowly but surely, your brain it just blurred me away

The chains were strained, and slowly your passion waned

We once talked all night, now we don’t even fight anymore

At first I thought you needed space

But I was already being erased

The sole resolution, a foregone conclusion, it’s done

With a whimper, not a bang

Not a lion, but a lamb

We just withered and died, like a lily outside in the cold

And through rome wasn't built in a day

It longer still to decay

Slowly but surely, your brain it just blurred me away

Aim your soul, follow where you must go

And I'll follow mine through the tangle of vines in the night

So this is the way that it ends

A half-hearted promise to always be friends

A glance at the floor, then you walk out the door to your life

With a whimper, not a bang

Not a lion, but a lamb

We just withered and died, like a lily outside in the cold

And through rome wasn't built in a day

It longer still to decay

Slowly but surely, your brain it just blurred me away
