WE MARK TODAY AS THE DAY OF THE LOST
YOUR LIFE’S NOT IN VEIN, YOU ARE NOT FORGOT
OF ALL OF MY FRIENDS, YOU WERE THE FIRST
ONE HORRIBLE SCENE, SO STAGED AND REHEARSED
ILL NEVER FORGET THE STAGE PAINTED WHITE
COLD LONELY WINDS ECHEOED ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT
TREMORING SIRENS SHED TEARS NO GOODBYE’S
YOU LEFT ME HERE JUST ASKING WHY? WHY OH WHY!?
What were you thinking?
Was my life not worth enough?
Was there nothing I could do?
Can I be dreaming?
Was the strife not worth the rush?
Did the grave outweigh the crutch?
I stand believing, that there’s more to life than pain.
A faded picture A FADED PICTURE,
In a broken frame IN A BROKEN FRAME
I found a meaning, of why we shouldn’t run in fear
And why we seem to lack the spine to shed a tear
If you feel the need to die, before you kick the chair
Remember your friends’ cuz I promise they care!
If you feel the need to end your life
TAKE A SECOND ASIDE, CHOOSE TO FACE THE FIGHT
Because I promise you kid that your friends would die for you
This life is certain, the paths we’ve walked before
Help us pick ourselves back off the floor
And curtains, will fall as we take our bow
The only fight that we’re facing now,
Is how do I forgive myself,
For letting you die? Every single night I lie awake screaming “why oh why”.
WHY OH WHY!?
So much for silent as the grave
And forget what you haven’t forgave
Its been 12 years and I still hear you calling my name!
If you feel the need to die, before you kick the chair
Remember your friends’ cuz I promise they care!
If you feel the need to end your life
TAKE A SECOND ASIDE, CHOOSE TO FACE THE FIGHT
Because I promise you kid that your friends would die for you
