about

About how one deals with death, and the insanity he goes though. Based off of a Persona 3 FanFiction

lyrics

Verse 1
Rain, surrounds us at the
Grave
View, the weeping willows’
Tears
Tremble, in silence as the
Casket lowers, deep into the ground
…I wish you well again

Pre-Chorus
So many nights, I see your face
It burdens me to keep you here
And infect my mind’s sanity
So many nights, I kneel and pray
The day the rain will go away, and
Bring you back again

Verse 2
I walk the bound’ries of the morgue
(the rain keeps falling down again)
Your headstone’s calling out to me,
I cannot face the truth again
This tree I came across with
All the names of the deceased
Engrave d in black, the paper’s shown
Your name, I carved; a sign that you’re still here

Interlude 1

Pre-Chorus 2
So many nights, I see your face (x2)
It burdens me to keep you here
And infect my mind’s sanity
So many nights, I kneel and pray
(While my slowly eyes turn to grey)
The day the rain will go away, and
Bring you back, and here to stay

Chorus
I walk, alone
This cold and winding path
The only thing that guides me is this
Lantern (a frozen light)
I’ve tried, again
To move on from this pain, but
You are everywhere to me
I can’t escape back to reality

Bridge
WHY?
I can’t forgive myself for letting go of you
CRY!
I can’t forgive myself for losing all my faith in you
TRY!
The sacrifices made to hold on to your memories
GOODBYE!!
Farewell to all reality, you’ll hold me here for all eternity

Breakdown/Solo/Interlude 2

Pre-Chorus 2
So many nights, I see your face (x2)
It burdens me to keep you here
And infect my mind’s sanity
So many nights, I kneel and pray
(While my slowly eyes turn to grey)
The day the rain will go away, and
Bring you back, and here to stay

Chorus
I walk, alone
This cold and winding path
The only thing that guides me is this
Lantern (a frozen light)
I’ve tried, again
To move on from this pain, but
You are everywhere to me
I can’t escape back to reality

Outro
I need you to forgive me
I need you here right by my side
I want your soul to be released
I want your soul to rest in peace
