Grief remains

Verse 1

Grief keeps changing its disguise

But grief remains behind the eyes

The world may stop, may let me be

But I’m still here — the same lonely me

Verse 2

What I got, I still resent

I keep moving, never bent

If I pause for just a breath

I turn self-pity into death

Pre-chorus

With every breath, a question burns

Its answer twists, returns, returns

Chorus

Grief keeps changing its disguise

But grief remains beneath the skies

The world may stop its cruelty

But I remain — the grief, the me.

Verse 3

Day and night, I weave a thread

To trap the world in what I’ve said

But first I trap myself inside

The very net where hopes go dried

Bridge

The ones you’re angry with — they dream

They flicker too, a broken gleam

You’re alive, so they breathe too

That’s the cruel joke — for me, for you

Verse 4

Why this caravan of fear?

Why complaint and longing near?

Because each dawn, desires begin

A silent, endless, losing spin

Outro (spoken-sung softly)

Grief keeps changing its disguise…

But grief remains.

The world may stop…

But I remain.
