Requiem
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We were ready for anything
Everyone has some pain
I see the loss every time someone says your name
When you know someone who shines hard
A soul of the age who doesn't care
who the fuck you are
You had a friend, a brother who was everything
but he had to go away...that was yesterday
I've lost a lot of people in my time
the good, the bad, the unreal,
and the ones who shine
So I know you all understand
When I say that until they left
We were ready for anything
We were ready for anything
We were ready for anything...but this
You are not gone
We keep you here inside us
You are not gone
We know you're still beside us
You are not gone
We have the light you gave to us
Now it's time to lay to rest our friend
and through these songs
His memory will never fucking end
We still see that
Through this we'll shed some light on you
Until the day you left us
We were ready for anything
We were ready for anything
We were ready for anything...but this
You are not gone
We keep you here inside us
You are not gone
We know you're still beside us
You are not gone
We have the light you gave to us
Why'd you have to go? We never had a chance
I can't believe it so I won't admit it-ac
