i felt the piercing cold, claw at my skin
i felt the suffocation of the dark night sky
i felt the pain and pleasure, looking in your eyes
i felt the loneliness as you watched me die

i felt the hate, pushing to leave
i felt the love, barely trying
i felt the rage, building up inside
i felt the myself, slowly dying
take my hand so you can find me
tell me im not alone
take my hand so we can find
those words that we've known

oh, i will reach out for you
pretend that i could see
oh, i will reach to hold you
show you what could be

hold my hand and you will see
the words on the wall
hold my hand and i will show
the reasons we should fall

oh, i will protect you
so you don't see this war
oh, i will cut my heart out
so you can live once more...

woke me up on a saturday morning
dead and gone she was
'may she rest in peace' she told me to say
shock took over me
tears wouldn't come out
tears were hidden deep down
inside a rush of feelings
and knifes stabbing my heart
it was hard
she was gone
already
after all this time
yet so early
sickness took over her
struggles ended
black we were wearing
tears all falling
if only cries could bring you back
if only love could bring you back
i don't believe it
i can't believe it
i can't see it
she's here
everywhere we are
the smell
the presence
the voice
everything
couldn't be gone
but someday in your life
you'll have to learn and let go
because nothing last forever
and we're the first to fade before our own eyes.
to my grandmother who passed away yesterday morning

they all fill their hearts
with others and wonder
why they feel so lost

but that is old sun
and this is new sun
I will take pictures
of myself in the light
and be beautiful
on my own.

He lays there alone
each and every night
Mind wondering
Nothing going right

Light fading away
He loses his grip
Fighting the corners of his mind
Slowly beginning to slip

Heart beating slow
He fights for air
Now as he falls
His mind lost to despair

Memory now gone
Lost forever
The beauty he once knew
He will see never
I'm your pain while you feel
I'm your sorrow while you heal
I'm your hate while you love
I'm you when push comes to shove

I'm your rage when you hurt
I'm your fear when you flirt
I'm your tears when you run
I'm you, ain't it fun

I'm your curse when you try
I'm your shame when you cry
I'm your eyes when your blind
I'm you you'll always find

I'm you don't you see
I'm you I'll always be
I'm you down to the bone
I'm you as your alone

It's just us isn't it strange
You thought we would ever change
Don't even try your thoughts won't drain
Cause you and I know you're insane.
