Lyrics
I still remember the police lights that painted your house a new color on that day/And I still remember all the thoughts that I had and that I couldn't find one word to say/I remember how fake it felt and how much I wanted to hear that it was all a joke/But it was no joke/because you slept on that night and when the morning came you never woke/But on the day of your funeral/I didn't want to but I stood up and I tried to speak/I fought with myself to be strong but I knew deep down that I was weak/I’m so weak/This is your memorial/For weeks after I couldn't eat or sleep or repeat the word fine anytime someone asked how I was doing/But I was still doing it/I played pretend but I was losing it/Because I wasn't ready to lose you/and I can't live with the fact of knowing that there's nothing that I can do to bring you back/It’s really quite selfish of me/But I would if I had the opportunity/I’m so tired of sitting at home/I’m so tired of feeling abandoned/I’m a damned kid/I’m just tired of being alone/So tired of trying to manage this baggage/From collateral damage/These are just memories that seem to haunt my mind on a daily basis/You are my greatest weakness but in turn you are my aegis/And together we lead a legion of the living who can't help but carry their dead/This weight takes its toll but each day we move forward taking one step/One step towards the end/one step towards knowing if we'll ever see our loved ones again/We refuse to rest until we breath our last breaths/Until our hearts beat their last beats inside of our beaten chests/Although our cause is worth fighting for we aren't looking to wage a war/We’re just fighting to lead our lives/we’re just hoping for something more/Searching for a state of being subsequently giving death a meaning/But until such knowledge is obtained it's in the dark that we'll remain/Living on in me/I will carry on your name/I still carry you with me/We refuse to rest until we breath our last breaths/Until our hearts beat their last beats inside of our beaten chests/
