Lyrics -
I saw you again
where we used to stand
and talk for hours I can smell the flowers
I try to see the good in everything
now that you've come and left I feel this energy between us
it’s like I’m dancing here with your ghost
your fingers weave a home into mine
and every dusk alone within my mind
and every night I drown within our bed
I know the thoughts are just here, remind us of the beautiful things
the better days have gone away
but your words have burned so deep in me
to say I could forget the dream
I’d choke right on that misery
the days grow long the years drag by
I’ll never forget the time between you and I
I try to see the good in everything
now that you've come and left I feel this energy between us
it’s like I’m dancing here with your ghost
your fingers weave a home into mine
and every dusk alone within my mind
and every night I drown within our bed
I know the thoughts are just here, remind us of the beautiful things
I saw you again
where we used to stand
and talk for hours I can smell the flowers

RIP Donna Miller. Literally this proves that Darko isn't just all about crushing deathcore. They are capable of variety as well and this hit me too hard in my feelings. This reminds me so much of Danza's final album and I think Darko is its spiritual successor. I cannot wait to see what the future holds for this band. Great job guys.

[@nicholaswarman1597]

This is one of the most underrated 'core' whatever ballads ever created.

[@dontgojohnson]

The saddest part about this song is that I want more like it however I know it was created out of genuine pain - it’s what makes it so authentic and good in the first place. To ask for more music like this is to ask for more suffering… that’s a very depressing concept

[@cobraglatiator]

such is this kind of music, i suppose. that conflict inherent to enjoying art like this. to really, feeling it.

[@holographicfrog1503]

yes, that is the true purpose of art. The transference of sentimental bonds.

[@Carnage0708]

All emotions are valid and deserve their time . Some just dont feel good is all.

[@blasher4]

For once, I'm ok with dying with never knowing love like this. I've been single for so long and lost in the world that we rot in today. But this video makes me think differently about ever trying again. Saw/seeing my grandma go through this and it's awful. She's a strong woman to have loved and lost and still get up everyday.

My grandma passed away on the 29th of December, two days before New Year's Eve. The depression hits me hard at times. But I've been listening to this song non-stop since then - the lyrics, the video, the vocals and the instrumental, everything just clicks with my soul. Thank you for this amazing art piece DARKO US. I hope you two continue to produce more spine-chilling records for many years to come. Salute from Brasil my friends!

[@sacarymoviesamu]

Holy shiet the end hit me really hard. I thought he was an actor but it's for real. Damn man. RIP u.u

[@BrentonDevs]

Everything about this song speaks to me on such a vulnerable level. The kind of song that wraps its arms around you and reminds you it’s okay to feel emotionally destroyed . The isolated guitar section makes me feel like I’m floating in time. Thank you Darko for helping me forget the world for a few minutes, I’ll be revisiting this on my low days. ❤️

Seriously been a huge Darko fan for the past two years, and an even bigger emmure and Chelsea grin fan as long as they have been around (when I was in high school) but I just found this song the other day (don't really know how I missed it) but this couldn't have been a better time for me to find it, my grandfather is in the very last stage of dementia and Alzheimer's he does not have long at all, and my grandmother it's the only one taking care of him (they live in PA and most of the family lives in fla, I live in Mt) but they were my parents when my mom didn't want any fucking thing to do with me, and it fucking terrifies the shit out of me knowing that once he goes she won't be far behind him but something about this song and this music video, it's like a sad peaceful feeling, idk it's just one of those things that you don't realize how much you need something till you see or hear it, and fuck I needed this

[@riccberg]

Wow.... This is a masterpiece 😭❤️❤️❤️

[@screebb]

I’ll speak for chat on this one: we are so proud of you gentlemen. With so much pain in all our hearts, your vulnerability resonates with us all. You’ve made women and men cry with cathartic release, knowing they are not the only ones suffering. Pain is potential prepared for progress. We ALL can find POSITIVE ways to put our pain on display like Tom and Josh. How can your pain relate to someone else’s? How can we become closer? How can we empathize? Listen. Team Darko US, you’re making an impact, you’re making Donna proud.

[@dontgojohnson]

Between this and Constance we’ve been given two raw and beautiful songs filled with sorrow, pain, and love. I would argue that these are two of greatest sad songs ever written and have proven the depth of heavy music. I would also argue that this kind of music allows for entire other level of emotion by allowing to be characterized by screaming. We’ve heard Courtney or Tom scream before but in these songs you can hear the difference in their voices. They are full of genuine anguish, anger, sadness, and frustration. These songs essentially put lyrics and music to those emotions we all feel in these horrible moments, emotions that often make us feel like screaming ourselves. Instead, they lend their voices to allow us that release.

[@traviso7709]

Well I have to say very different from the other singles but very well done and love it. Can't wait for more❤ Rest In Piece Donna
