Dead Promises

About this track
Be sure to check out my similar track I Still Dream Of You At Night. https://soundcloud.com/james-cowler/i-still-dream-of-you-at-night An emotional rap-metalcore fusion reflecting on grief and lost love. 🖤 I wrote this 9 years after losing the love of my life to cancer at 21. This is a reflection of that grief and the path I'm on, a reflection of how I feel now at 30. I'm trying to remind myself of that unconditional love. Fuck cancer. Follow for more 👊🏻 Hopefully not more cancer. Lyrics; I made a promise to a dying girl, I forgot that pact and my god it burns, Fire on my soul, torment on my mind, I buried you deep down inside, Locked tight in my own wooden box, Six foot under covered and lost, But I’ve found your shovel, I’ve nothing to hide, Gonna dig you out and share my pride. Verse 2 Buried tight under earth, fire, trauma and rocks, I’m coming baby I will get through, One day you’ll hold me and see me too, But for now I gotta dig, dig for two, Maybe when I have I’ll get to see you. Verse 3 Walking with you was truly my honour, I gotta walk faster, I wanna, Honour your name, your spirit, your laugh, Because when you left it tore me in half, Left me lost, broken and in despair, But it’s not over when I carry you everywhere. Chorus I’m digging and I’ll pull you out, Please take my hand and don’t look down, I’m drowning, please take my hand, I can’t do this alone please reach out. Bridge You showed me love I never had before, Saw something in me behind closed doors, Fire in your heart and love on your mind, I’ll never let go, you’ll always be mine, Moonstars, cakestars and microwave times, They don’t know what that means, it breaks my heart, But they knew you and you showed me, These words can’t ever describe, The joy and love you left behind. Outro I was Bubba and you were my baby, Loved you more than moonstars in your sleep, Though broken, your love is my steady glue, In shattered moments, your love holds me true.
