Counting Debts
Another piece from 2006, Counting Debts is a quiet reckoning with a relationship built on convenience rather than genuine connection — the slow realisation that loving someone more than they can return, or perhaps more than they ever wanted, only leads to one place. No anger here, just tired honesty and the unmistakable distance in someone's eyes.
A companion piece to Adrift in tone and origin, revisited for Second Sight as part of the album's thread of relationships examined honestly, without flinching.

Sonus Lucis — Counting Debts
Can't believe we'd come so far.
Some moments I thought we would falter.
Could you see me counting debts?
It figures but oh how I owe you.
I'd like to know if we had a future,
But I saw a distance in your eyes.
Can't pretend I didn't cry.
When thinking that we're going nowhere.
Was it meant to be like this?
The arrangement was just for convenience.
Thought you'd care,
When you saw how I was in your life,
When you saw I loved you more than life.
Don't know if I should go now.
Can you feel that love's lost flame,
Has burned me and I have seen no less.
There's no comfort looking back,
At dealings we had in beginning.
And now you bless my journey in wanting.
Couldn't guess I'd be moving along now.
