When I am gone will these words still remain? Pure thought without a voice or merriment; What if my life was all for this refrain? An angel sifted neurons in my brain, To seek for aught of which I should repent; When I am gone will these words still remain? My demons tunnelled through me like a train, Cajoling me to do their ill portent; What if my life was all for this refrain? My haunted past still lingered like the rain And soaked me in a wave of malcontent; When I am gone will these words still remain? My soul was but a solitary grain, That bloomed to grow until it's time was spent; What if my life was all for this refrain? Beyond my years, when long my bones have lain Past living years of those who may lament, When I am gone will these words still remain? What if my life was all for this refrain?

Beyond My Years
When I am gone will these words still remain? Pure thought without a voice or merriment; What if my life was all for this refrain? An angel sifted neurons in my brain, To seek for aught of which I should repent; When I am gone will these words still remain? My demons tunnelled through me like a train, Cajoling me to do their ill portent; What if my life was all for this refrain? My haunted past still lingered like the rain And soaked me in a wave of malcontent; When I am gone will these words still remain? My soul was but a solitary grain, That bloomed to grow until it's time was spent; What if my life was all for this refrain? Beyond my years, when long my bones have lain Past living years of those who may lament, When I am gone will these words still remain? What if my life was all for this refrain?
