Bring Em Back Alive

I was on my way to the center of the sun
When I lost my wings and I fell into a crowd
And they carried me to a hole in the ground
And they buried me
Where no one could see
And no one would be around

I am a virus; I live in silence

I was on my way to a city in the clouds
When I lost my mind and I had to settle down
Then I had a dream of an island in the sea
Where the lepers die
And no one survives
And no one can hear their cries

I am a virus; I live in silence

And just like heathens thinking
on our feet we believe in God
And with one step, two steps
Three steps toward the graveyard
On the high road to remembering
It seems that we forgot

I am a virus; I live in silence

Falling Away With You

I don't always post original songs here. Part of lyrical therapy is enjoying songs others have written and how they speak to you.

I can't remember when it was good
Moments of happiness elude
Maybe I just misunderstood

All of the love we left behind
Watching the flashbacks intertwine
Memories I will never find

So I'll love whatever you've become
And forget the reckless things we've done
I think our lives have just begun
I think our lives have just begun

And I'll feel my world crumbling
And I'll feel my life crumbling
I'll feel my soul crumbling away
And falling away
Falling away with you

Staying awake to chase a dream
Tasting the air your breathing in
I hope I won't forget a thing

Promise to hold you close and pray
Watching the fantasies decay
Nothing will ever stay the same

And all of the love we threw away
And all of the hopes we cherish fade
Making the same mistakes again
Making the same mistakes again

And I'll feel my world crumbling
And I'll feel my life crumbling
I'll feel my soul crumbling away
And falling away
Falling away with you

All of the love we left behind
Watching the flashbacks intertwine
Memories I will never find
Memories I will never find
