A Hero’s Grave

I hate to swallow this pill down When everything I say is disregarded Treated like I'm not needed around I know that statement doesn't hold an ounce of truth But resentment for yourself is not an easy pain to soothe Losing my connections Attempt to weld the bead Life in repair I've broken dreams of the few who care enough Hands in my hair To keep my grip as I fall when things get rough We all fade out It's just a fact that we all meet the bitter end There is no doubt Everyone expects I'll die before my friends (I've been working hard to rebuild every connection) (To the ones I love before it ends) When my torch flickers and fades It can't hurt to use its coals A source to start a flame and light the way Life in repair I've burned the bridge for the few who gave a shit Hands in my hair And pulling out whatever's left of it If I fade out I can only hope I fixed it in the end I have no doubt I will more than likely die before my friends And if I die I can only hope they recognize That I tried my best How hard that I've been working To rebuild every connection To the ones I love before it ends It's all that I can seem to think about Every single night when I try to fall asleep (oh) I feel like I never dream Every slumber I achieve feels like a blink (if I fade out) (If I fade out) Life in repair I've broken dreams of the few who care enough Hands in my hair To keep my grip as I fall when things get rough We all fade out It's just a fact that we all meet the bitter end There is no doubt Everyone expects I'll die before my- And if I die before my friends I hope I try to make amends And repair bridges burned before my life is at its end
