1st track on "Basic Elements of Human Experience" EP.

lyrics

I never thought I could relate, to the pain you felt inside. Now I know what it might feel like to want to end your own life. You feel the pressure building inside you. No one around you understands how far the mind can degenerate, once the cycle has begun. There was so much more to life than what we had been exposed to. I will always keep my mind open so that it can be shared with you. And with each passing year, and every brand new thought. I will know that part of who I am, is in fact a part of you. I knew that things were not ok. Then I saw you propped above you grave. A violent end unto the sadness. I know that someday we'll be joining you. Memories may fade away. But the pain remains the same. Cause the past is something that I can never go back and change. There was so much more to life than what we had been exposed to. I will always keep my mind open so that it can be shared with you. And with each passing year, and every brand new thought. I will know that part of who I am is in fact a part of you. I was so cold that April morning when we said our last goodbyes. Those were the most important tears I have ever cried. For you. They were for you. For you. They were for you. And when I change my ways, and things fall in to place. You can know that part of it is for you. It's for you. Because you're only gone if we have let you go. And to this day I still... I can hear you. I can see you. I can still hear you. I can still see you. I can hear you. I can see you. I can hear you. I can still see you. I can hear you. I can see you. I can hear you. I can still see you. I can hear you. I can see you. I can hear you. I can still see you.
