Lyrics:
Stood in your last breath, couldn’t believe it was gone
And that weighed a ton, faced with the first death
Steeped in plain regret, you were a sight for sorest eyes
Every word you spoke I swear coulda made me cry
…
And in this dream we fall through velvet leaves,
ushered in reverse through the silk-like purse
Outstretching, unending, except for the ends of you
…
Gotta stay strong for the little one, who found you in your room
Gotta strong for our mumma who, would take the blame however true
Into the room in which you threatened to depart
Damn, it was so hard to let you go that night
When we nearly couldn’t choose
I broke down outside the room
…
I’m praying you survive
And in this dream we fall through velvet leaves,
ushered in reverse through the silk-like purse
Outstretching, unending, except for the ends of you
…
Except for the ends of you, where’s that little girl I knew

Stood in your last breath, couldn't believe it was gone
And that weighed a ton, faced with the first death
Steeped in plain regret, you were a sight for sorest eyes
Every word you spoke I swear coulda made me cry
And in this dream we fall through velvet leaves
Ushered in reverse through the silk-like purse
Outstretching, unending, except for the ends of you
Gotta stay strong for the little one who found you in your room
Gotta stay strong for our Mumma who would take the blame however true
Into the room in which you threatened to depart
Damn, it was so hard to let you go that night
When we nearly couldn't choose
I broke down outside the room
And I'm praying you survive
And in this dream we fall through velvet leaves
Ushered in reverse through the silk-like purse
Outstretching, unending, except for the ends of you
Except for the ends of you, where's that little girl I knew
Except for the ends of you, where's that little girl I knew
Except for the ends of you, where's that little girl I knew
Except for the ends of you, where's that little girl

i came to grips with some repressed memories the other day and i listened to this song immediately after having one of the most intense panic attacks i've ever experienced. i cried my eyes out and accepted reality. this song will forever be apart of me. thank you, you're a blessing to this world.

[Renulph]

The drop on this song is so CRUCIAL. Man, what an amazing and hypnotically beautiful section at 4:04, and the repeated phrase really drives the whole song through. This one makes me tear up a little, not often music does that to me, but when it comes from such a deep place, we can receive that emotional energy fully. Well fucking done, Puma Blue.

[ysatir]

I would never have thought that the love between brother and sister could be conveyed in such detail. Every moment I felt how important family ties are! Thank you. Your fan Yury <3

[rudokendall]

IM SO EXITED IK THIS IS GOING TO BE AMAZING

[patrickbarragan]

i have this in my schedule as crying time

[Callumsmith]

Nobody asked, but the title of the upcoming album is the same as a book on aesthetics by Jun'ichirō Tanizaki. Recommended reading<3

[beebu]

He's a talent. It showed his relationship with his sister so beautifully and sweetly. I hope they will both be happy

[rudokendall]

this is making me nostalgic and it’s not even my memories...

[mercury]

Saw them in amsterdam live and they were even better, live the vibe everything. and his voice a angel the band amazing!

[TOBSAUR]

First time listening to this I thought "meh not bad ", now I can't live without listening to it at least once a day, the last quarter of the song its just so powerfull and full of emotions.

[MarkSegura]

already in my playlist. mah boy never let's me down.

[aeadesamito]

was listening to this while reading the lyrics. every line made me cry

[shatteredscry]

This song was sorrowful the first time I heard it a few years back. Now that my brother passed away, it's festering. Its horrifying losing a sibling.

[TOBSAUR]

I remember listening to this song one year ago and getting so attached to it due to a very recent and painful breakup at the time.
Now, a year later this song still hurts me, and I'm probably not fully recovered from that loss...
But this song saved me, and I've changed so much since the first time I listened to it.
No other words needed, just thank you.
Grazie di tutto.

[stephaniep.]

Such a beautiful song. Kind of a little different from the regular Puma Blue music. I feel a more warm and homie love.
