Stacks of silence reach the sky Mountains made of what they left behind I press and crush, I sort and save And dream of hands I was made to never shake There’s a song inside a tape I found Where lovers spin and dance around I play it back when nights grow long Pretending I belong Why? Why did you power down? I never asked to be The world in your life Just a little piece of your time Why? Why did you power down? After all that we shared I never felt scared To hope you cared I might have all your memories But without you, they’re just ghosts to me And I can’t find the strength or muster To be some kind of ghostbuster Who you gonna call? I built a world inside my chest From cockroach steps and VHS Why? Why did you power down? I never asked to be The last thing left to care Just someone you’d still be aware Why? Why did you power down? When I realized We could be two I reached out to you You slept while I replayed your face And guarded you from wind and waste Why? Why did you power down? I never asked to be Jour hero in the mess Just more or less Why? Why did you power down? To be remembered I held your hand through times so rough And that was enough Why? Tell me why! Why did you power down? Tell me why! Please tell me why Did you power down? And leave me on the ground
