lyrics

I’ll never forget the first time I approached you
“Death and Dying” at 11, my heart set on a friend
And fast friends we were, a connection so deep
That the ocean turned away in jealousy, always you and I

I truly believed we were destined a pair until
You tore out

Not just my heart but the brain and the wiring
A helpless machine with a song on repeat
Flashbacks and nightmares an absence of hope
You leave these, as your memento
Memories in scrambles they play
One after one, much more than images
I slam my head to the wall, alone
Afraid, a slave to your memento

Still I can’t put into words
How much you meant to me, would you believe
If I said that every single memory is as vivid
As a near death experience
Or a melody that you find yourself humming unconsciously
Because when I see you smiling I smile unconsciously…
And then I remember

You are gone and dead from me
I’ve nothing but ghosts of failure
Nothing but arms once loving that drag me so low
Your memento
The saddest moments I have in my life
Are recalling the happiest with you
The saddest moments occur by the hour
Your memento
5 cherished years weren’t enough
Your memento
