Is a message to the past, a showcase of vulnerability
lyrics
Remember when? I was afraid?
Remember when, we bled the same
brother I know you are here still alive inside
Remember when? I was the same?
Remember when? I had no pain
I killed you, I slayed you
the guilty, bringer of pain
My demons took over
you died in vain
I did not change, I was afraid
I felt alone, I was gone and away
I tried and tried I failed
I tried to be here
I could not breathe, my demons gone awry
I stoned my heart, as I watched you die
So cold and violent, but now in my past you sleep
You know, I do not show it, but I do regret it.
not for what I miss, not for the past, but for what I did to both of them
it's now forever ingraved.
I know they'll never hear this message, for one ofthem there's no way she can.
and for the other there's no way he'd care.
Both of them, I've hurt them, and they've hurt me by leaving
one of them forever gone, and one just next to me, dead inside, like it's not even him anymore,
like his soul left his body, '' are you dead? just tell me, or at least listen, show that you're still there deep down.. I miss you''
you always said I'll survive and I am actually
but there's always that part of me inside, begging for them just to come to me and just tell me
'' please, just come and tell me I didn't make you leave
I want you and not the world to tell me it's destiny, that it's life, that it was meant to be
just to tell me it's not my fault''
I killed them, and I killed their murderer, but who I became,
I became both of them, I just realised it, I became both of them just so they'd somehow be here.
Why am I saying this here? in this song, through this innocent piece of music that I'm tainting with my crimes
why I'm letting myself bleed and making you witness
I may be the messenger of your pains, but I need you, I need you to lift the weight with me a bit
I need your help, I am no hero butI am you, I am us,
I am
Them.
