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
