Phantom Pains - Green Edition (feat. Troy Baker & Laura Bailey)

from Stray Gods by Austin Wintory, Tripod & Montaigne

lyrics

Phantom pains
From a missing friend
Feeding thoughts
Thoughts that never end
What did I do?
What didn’t I do?

Here she is
Only in your head
Long gone fights
But they’re never dead
What did I do?
What didn’t I do?

Calliope
What was she to you?

Years
Thousands of years
We walked side by side
She tried
Said there’s other paths
Don’t walk the same
Never the same

I have roads I like
Smooth
Paved in stone
She got tired
Of our divide
We weren’t the same
Never the same

You held fast
What’s that about?
Stubborn me
Thought I’d wait her out
Usually
She’d come back to me

You see
She’d return
And we’d do that old dance
Knowing both
There was not a chance
That I would change
But she never came

Years
Thousands of years
And now you’re left behind
Your mind
Still hears her say,
“Break from the same”
“Never the same”

Listen to her
Break from the same
Never the same

But I’ve tried

Never with me
We haven’t tried

Then, let’s see

Tell me If it’s too hard
If I pushed you too far just say
It’s okay
She’s gone
Can’t be the same
Never the same

That hidden voice
It’ll always play
On a loop
It’ll always say
What did I do?
What didn’t I do?

It’s a song
You can’t erase
But you can make
A tiny space
For what you will do
Something new
