Story Behind The Song
This is my absolute favorite song from ILL LUCID ONSET, a band I used to play keyboards in, and my brothers for life. I can't speak to the lyrical meaning as Ryan Aiello was the craftsman.
Song Description
To ME, it's about losing something, and not feeling comfortable in your own skin. Sometimes you do or say something you regret so much that you don't recognize the person staring back at you in the mirror.

Lyrics
This is a sad song. This is a song I wrote about you.
This is the last song. This is the last song I'll sing for you.
sing with me, I don't want to be alone. Please sing with me.
This is that darkness. The cloud that is inside your mind,
I feel the depth that keeps you ling in fear.
sing with me, I don't want to be alone. Please sing with me.
Wasting away, like the ruin that time has passed long ago.
Trying so hard, but dying is all I've ever known.
This is my honesty. The honesty that I forgot to say.
Wasting away, like the ruin that time has passed long ago.
Trying so hard, but dying is all I've ever known.
This is all I am, the hardness seems to fade away.
Stay with me, I don't want to be alone, please stay with me.
