A Hero's Grave

I hate to swallow this pill down with everything I say

It's disregarded, treated like I'm not needed around

I know that statement doesn't hold an ounce of truth

But resentment for yourself is not an easy pain to soothe

Losing my connection

Attempt to weld a beam

(Life in repair)

I've broken dreams of the few who care enough

(Hands in my hair)

To keep my grip as I fall when things get rough

(We all fade out)

It's just the fact that we all meet the bitter end

(There is no doubt)

Everyone expects I'll die before my friends

(I've been working hard to rebuild every connection)

(To the ones I loved before it ends)

When my torch flickers and fades, it can't hurt to use its coal

A source to start a flame and light the way

(Life in repair)

I burned the bridge for the few who gave a shit

Hands in my hair

And balling out whatever's left of it

(If I fade out)

I can always hope I fixed it in the end

(I have no doubt)

I will more than likely die before my friends

And if I die, I can only hope they recognize that I tried my best

How hard that I've been working to rebuild every connection

To the ones I loved before it ends

It's all that I can seem to think about

Every single night when I try to fall asleep

I feel like I never dream

Every slumber I achieve feels like a ? (I fade out)

(If I fade out)

(Life in repair)

I've broken dreams of the few who care enough

(Hands in my hair)

To keep my grip as I fall when things get rough

(We all fade out)

It's just the fact that we all meet the bitter end

(There is no doubt)

Everyone expects I'll die before my

And if I die before my friends

I hope I try to make amends

And repair bridges burned before my life is at its

End
