Текст песни Saving Face - Parting Words

Оригинальный текст песни Parting Words

In your old town, you did just what you had to
Keep distance, but they grabbed you with novocaine.
You said you’re “sober now”.
Yet you were followed by the demons of a past life you believed in,
That you just could not live down.
I still look up to you, though you’re buried in the ground.

You’re buried there now.
Took passion over paycheque
Re-write your families pages.

Survive your vices tail end,
for a life that you can’t shake.

I took the day off for your funeral, but I left “on read” your message.
The guilt tears me apart from my heart that I couldn’t call a medic.
I can’t believe that you’re gone.
I wish you knew just how we loved you, I vie to see you one last time.

(You hid away with the pain)

Carry the weight of everything you’ve come to hate.
As falling apart is so conducive with this place.
I thought at the wake at how your death is such a shame.
I whispered your name and watched them carry you away.

I look back to last February, when you made it out of the state to your sanctuary.
Smiling with your eyes, I thought that you would be alright.

And we live for you each day, knowing that you’d do the same.
If kindness had a name, you’d take its place.
We all tried our whole life to keep you safe.
My brother, I love you.
I won’t forget your face.

I wish I took your place.
Let the blood out from my veins .
And fill yours till I’m drained.
You carried all the weight, every day.
How’s the view from up above?
It’s true, I wish you knew just how much we loved you.
