lyrics

Somehow my room is clean
But I’ve stopped going to university
The waves of the shore,
wash everyone's writing in the sand
away eventually

I’d give away all my money
And cut off my legs
To see you again

Everyone grieves,
Life breaks us all eventually
No one gets out alive of life alive
For now, I’m still breathing

All the attempted words of comfort gloss over.
You just lie next to me with your arm around my paralysed body
Like the heaviness of hospitals and graveyards,
I feel death in my house.
How is this the table we used to meet at?
And laughter filled the air?
At least at night, the quiet can be interpreted as peace

Now that you’re not here, I must try to love myself.
Feed myself, bathe, and get my body through the day.

Everyone grieves,
Life breaks us all eventually
No one gets out alive of life alive
But for now, I’m still breathing

At some point, I’ll just have to stop writing about you
Your life had an end
But this grief doesn’t
Now it is silence
Your life had an end
But This grief doesn’t
At some point, ill just stop writing about you
Your life had an end
But this grief doesn’t
I will think about you every day
And every day wish you were still here.
I said that in my speech at your funeral.
