You're the element of surprise that none of us were prepared for
|
The dead body behind the curtain that we couldn't help but stare towards
|
This afternoon you were an only child and a friend to me
|
This evening you're not breathing you're just the seed of a memory
|
|
Memories of better days
|
Turn the pages back to a faded photograph of
|
Memories of yesterdays
|
The years'll pass by but they'll never bring me back to you
|
|
My memory remembers presently everything from that night
|
My senses always sensor any awful images or sights
|
But I didn't get to see through the eyes his poor mother did
|
I just ask why she had to be the one to discover him
|
|
All I ask is a better day
|
A better way
|
To carry the weight of you
|
I sing this song to remember the days
|
When I wasn't afraid
|
To carry the weight of you
|
|
To the friend that I love who has different roots of blood
|
You are the earth that makes mud that comes from rain that made the flood
|
We cycle in and out of what our lives are capable of
|
And through it all I thank you for teaching me below and above
|
|
I had a friend who was way to young to die
|
I guess death is one of those things some people do to life
|
