lyrics

The voice you put on cuts deep and I (hear it still)
You said misery loves company and I think I will maybe face myself
Pull up a seat and relive the disease and sift, and sit
through memories until your last breath had passed and I (hear it still)

Exhale. Remove the veil. These choices you took, they eventually killed.
You asked for help but didn't help yourself. Every night you'd melt, try
to open up, you'd lose health and I (hear it still)

I stayed. I'd wait.
I held onto you at the edge (when we played) our charade.
Any thought you had, you let invade. Fought back but the demons stayed.
A losing battle, but you fought. And every cry, I (hear it still)

You were poisoned. You were not a criminal. Your plight was far from minimal.
Yes I'm cynical, but I believed in you. You dreamed.
Weird to feel nothing when I think of you.
I know it was hard to live with. It was hard to live with you.
Deep down you were spiritual. I know something was real.
You wanted me to drown with you. I tried to get you to swim.
I couldn't get in. I couldn't get in. (when we played our charade)

Or there was nothing left within. You prayed to some god but all you did was sin.
Your own words, I disagreed. Pumping medicine you didn't need.
Got a cut and just let it bleed. Until you left, I had hope. That you didn't need
shit to make you float. But you'd always feed and I (hear it still)

What are the limits to a dream? You were living one. Maybe somewhere you're out there
having fun. Living loud on that cloud hitting dumb. No more living off the crumbs.
I loved to hear you laugh before you changed the path you set.
I can't forget the rest. I used to hear you laugh and I (hear it still)

The voice you put on cuts deep and I (hear it still)
You said misery loves company and I think I will maybe face myself
Pull up a seat and relive the disease and sift, and sit
through memories until your last breath had passed and I (hear it still)
