Story Behind The Song
Time and death are relative, and we are helpless against them. The things that we remember are still alive in a parallel universe which is our memory and which is the past. I was thinking about the idea that time may not be linear, and that means that things that have happened in the past and the future are currently happening in the present as well. This makes it hard to let your memory forget the past. If something is over, should you forget it?

Lyrics
on my window sill is still the cheapest rose/ it used to bloom in red/ but now it's dead/ a single rose/ dead, and so it goes/ your eyes could sparkle like emerald lies/ in the right light/ but escaping from beneath a starless sheet/ i breathe and then the light goes/ or so it goes/ if there is a light that never dies/ then what is this darkness in front of my eyes/ they say when it's over/ you will know/ i sent it off/ that love is dead/ dead and so it goes/ i'm carrying your weight in every step like i'm on house arrest/ when they let me out i was homeless/ i'll just put myself back in again/ freedom is the happier sound/ but it's slow/ and so it goes/ (chorus) / we're all just bugs trapped in amber/ (chorus)
