Phantom Pains - Red 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?

Any time I’m stuck on what I did and didn’t do
I just scan the distance for the next thing
What is the next thing for you?

The next thing
She often said that too

We were statues hiding under sheets collecting dust
She burst through the door and shouted, “Next thing!”
Come to the next thing

Calliope
She’s the way to be
Facing out
Finding ways to see
Beyond what’s dead
Reaching ahead

Yeah, that was her
A meteor
A blazing star
Then she was no more
What did I do?
What didn’t I do?

You can be the guy who Just stays clinging to his kin
Closing all his shutters but The next thing
A foreign army sweeps in

But I’ve tried

Never with me
We haven’t tried

Then, let’s see

Always knew that you would come around

That hidden voice
Will always play
It’s 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 something new

The next thing
The next thing
The next thing
