and this is how i pick my bones apart.
every layer of skin begins to burn,
there's a bad taste on my tongue from choking back on your name.
i hear the tones drop in my chest, fully involved with my anger inside.

and i wish that roof collapsed.
when does the smoke clear up from the flashover we caused?
there's a tombstone above my bed commending you for killing what was left in me.
no light, no light, and you were trained to move without your vision.

there goes the flag, my final call.
to the monster you were, and he slayed, see you at the big one.

I always feel the steel of my bones begin to bend.
The flame you left burning inside of me has not gone out.

And, oh, believe me, it is easy to suit back up.
It is simple to keep a straight face.
Even when I hear your voice resound in the red walls,
or when the thought of myself beneath you follows me into the dark.

Don't be worried
Don't be scared

I know you worry for me
I know that you are scared for me I know why we never say goodbye
But if we have to say goodbye
Tell my family that I love them
Tell my friends that I miss them And for you,
best friend you are like a sibling and that I am very grateful of I will miss you when I'm gone
But friend don't worry for me because I am in heaven.

A man by birth
A hero by choice
He gave his life for another
A man without a family
A family now without a man
Brother for a brother
Friend for a friend
A young child waiting for him to come home

A man by birth
A hero by choice
A savior to some
A gravestone to others
He put others in front of himself
Saving them at the cost of his life
Others are in his debt

A man by birth
A hero by choice
He laid down his life to protect another
A son now without a father
A family without a man
A brotherhood without a brother
A friend without his best friend
A world torn apart
Death encompasses all
Death destroys all
Death controls all

A man by birth
A hero by choice
A friend for life
A friend after death
He waits patiently
For friends and family alike

— The End —
