Description
no radio to keep me company on this drive
I'm alone, completely alone
you could say i was lucky to survive
but you couldn't say that regret doesn't haunt me
you don't know how i feel, don't try to understand
if only you experienced half of my nightmares
you'd be ready to give up
to push down on that blade, and never let up
blood stained the peaceful home that evening
as it began, i hid away quietly
as i said a prayer to anyone who would listen, oh so silently
screams fell from every corridor
as the speed of my beating heart quickened
through all my hope, my dreams, my faith, he tore
he killed everything, he took everything from me
and the blood wasn't really blood
it was a wound only i could see
there was no escaping it
death is an inevitable truth of life
it's something i never did fear
and the reason why is still so unclear
you constricted my lungs, i could never breath
I've never experienced freedom
i was always too afraid to fight for it
friendship was something i never knew
i kept to myself, as the curiosity grew
"it's the quiet ones we need to worry about"
those are the words that haunt me to this day
they couldn't understand
that no one could help me in any way
and that i was happy in the loneliness of a world of grey
no one is invincible
no one is immortal
pain is inevitable
we can accept it, or live in denial
and from time to time, we flash a fake smile
you died young to preserve your beauty
your kiss, your touch
now so cold, so forgotten
the idea is to die young as late as possible
because beauty can fade
but memories cannot
we were never faltered by non-believers
because we always knew we were the change
the change we wished for in the world
was personified through us
and we didn't stagger, we didn't forget to breath
i lay here shivering without you
as they lower you into the cold earth
as i pick up a handful of dirt
and sprinkle it down on you
your eyes of truth are now closed forever
you can never see the snow,
you can never feel it against your skin
your heart, idle, cold, forgotten
can it still love? can it still hope?
is it all lost? forever?
