You Will Never Die

Those final parting moments,
I think about it all the time
The injustice of this disease keeps me up at night
I can’t reconcile the end of your life
Few have understood meaning
And purpose in existence of modern man
We were philosophers and thought we had it all figured out
It brought us together, the wonder of ‘I am’
We were so young and carefree
These moments always replay in my head
I felt sick
When I saw you suffering
The last time that I saw you
Plagued me with sadness and guilt
Now I’m left with the weight of memories
And she’s left alone
I can’t fucking process this
If we look for justice and peace, it’s something we will never find
But what we do have are the ties between us all
I find comfort that we live through the ones we love
Our lives are all just grains passing through the sands of time
But we live in the hearts that are left behind
And in this way you will never die

We live in each other’s minds
Taking up the space where we remember good times
But we don’t even know each other
Where have you gone, my brother
We grow apart with each passing year
The memory that exists in my head seems unclear
I miss the parts that I know to be true
But the other half of this reality is you
It’s such a strange place to be
I never thought you’d be somewhere not close to me
Isolation seems to be the destiny of men
What becomes of us then?
The truth is we are not alone
And I was never on my own
We have to lift each other up
We are not alone

My whole life, I’ve been
Taking it so slow
Afraid of what I’d be, another disappointment
These years, they got away, they got away from me
I never got to be the man I want to be
Listen, these are the things heavy on my heart
I was never the brother I wanted to be
I should have been there for you at your darkest
These are the thoughts that come to me at night
Regret and debridement
But it’s also the pursuit
Chasing who I want to be
My whole life, I’ve been
Taking it so slow
Afraid of what I’d be, another disappointment
These years, they got away, they got away from me
I never got to be the man I want to be
Listen, these are the things heavy on my heart
I was never the son I knew I could be
Spitting anger from the conflict
And the pain of my past
Living day to day, our scope is so narrow
Long forgotten is the ambition of our youth
More than anything I just want to feel it again
The intensity and the weight, the weight
Fuck, I can’t take it
Haunted by endless thoughts
I don’t want to live like this
I'm almost there
I’ve been running my whole life
So critical of who I’ve been
Who I should have become
And the fear of the uncertainty
That I don’t know
