A Hero's Grave

I hate to swallow this pill down

When everything I say is 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 connections

Attempt to weld the bead

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 a 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 love before it ends)

When my torch flickers and fades

It can't hurt to use its coals

A source to start a flame and light the way

Life in repair

I've burned the bridge for the few who gave a shit

Hands in my hair

And pulling out whatever's left of it

If I fade out

I can only 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 love before it ends

It's all that I can seem to think about

Every single night when I try to fall asleep (oh)

I feel like I never dream

Every slumber I achieve feels like a blink (if 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 a 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
