Текст песни Vacant Chair (Careful Gaze) с переводом

You are the wick of a candle, finally burning out and resting in wax pools

Your daydreams consist of chandeliers‚ hanging from the ceiling in your school

You are convinced that no one will care that your seat’s vacant‚ or bother to

ask «why»

You will be two missed calls and an apologetic voicemail on the day you die

Your father doesn’t call you on your birthday because you stopped making him

proud

There’s something about your mental diagnosis that made him stop reaching out

This rope is made of woven words that hurt you‚ and leave you in a haze

The gallows are the loved ones that have told you «this is just a phase»

As your lungs deplete of oxygen you will tell yourself «this is a mistake»

You will beg the ones that care for you to hold you up and take the rope away

Listen-

This is your community. No communion or holy words spoken through cracked lips

can stop your family’s weeping if you do this

You are like water spilled from our hands — dribbling a little at a time into

the crevices in which your mother planted all of your favorite flowers

You were dying, just like those perennials, and every night of self harm was a

petal dropping down‚ quiet upon impact but resounding with a warning almost no

one could understand

Suicide is a language for which there is no translation — forgive us and give

us patience as we fumble through sentences with you, grasping for clarity

You mother will grasp for it for years if her greatest creation destroys itself.

She will sit in your bedroom and search memories for times she could’ve seen

those petals falling

There are parts of you spilled out across the world already. Do not spill your

soul onto these walls, because there are millions of better times and places

for expiration than this

Tell us what you need. We are clasping our fingers together in an effort to

retain what is left of you. We will sit for hours and talk of solutions or sit

silent with you in a room‚ pondering the weight of simply being ALIVE

You will consider this as a final expression for as long as you exist — but

just because you learned a new word doesn’t mean you have to use it.

We will invent new languages together without blood or dissension.

It will take years be fully established

Do not let your place go vacant. Do not let that heart go silent.

There is a single petal that hasn’t fallen yet, and we will be damned if it is

not the most vibrant

Is it too late for me to get help

I want out of this

It’s not too late for me to get help

I’ll get out of this

Take the rope away
