about

This song was written in response to a dear friend of mines suicide. It weighed heavy on me because of the times we had spent talking about the pointlessness of life, and continuing to live it. Life is harder than death.

lyrics

handwritten note inside my head
the name was all it took to bring me down
pulling back the folds, I opened it, and read it aloud
"I regret the years, the years, the years
they change us like this
we go from hate to love,
with a fist to a kiss

all I wanted was to truly live
but It felt like
I was already dead

all I wanted was to feel real love
but i think that just doesn't exist

So this it it, I couldn't find my
place in the end
love and life are truly thieves
oh how they condesend
I don't believe in a better place
though I always tried to hide in them
but even as a child
I was never good at pretend

So this is goodbye,
and thanks for the times
I know that life will go on
without me
if its easier to forget
thats fine

years, the years, the years
they seem to pass us by
and change everything
but what has really changed?
I still see nothing
and no hope in anything

So this is goodbye
keep your head held high
the years, the years, the years
will pass you by
without me"
