Death isn't easy to cope with, but we strongly urge any of you to dedicate some time or energy into commemorating passed loved ones. They may be gone, but their spirits carry on.
lyrics
featuring Jayson Hall (Valleys, ex-For All It's Worth, ex-Aquience)
“No one can tell you how to feel about anything.”
That’s what I’ve been told, and I agree completely,
But the fact that I don’t feel much of anything after this…
Well, that still must show the utter selfishness that I must have towards the fragility, the value, of life, and this catharsis can only be seen as some worthless attempt to justify this stagnant emptiness, so all that I can really say is that I’m sorry.
One more week, one more day,
But I guess I have no say on how it goes.
I can see you sinking so slow.
No one here is gonna say what is on our minds.
We’re just taking time while our hearts begin to sway.
We’re just wishing you could stay.
I can see it in the way you breathe.
The ticking clock’s got its hands around my feet,
Reminding me that it’s almost time.
I feel the ocean pull you away.
I feel your last breath pushing the waves.
Further out to sea,
Far away from me.
Show me the reason.
Show me the pain.
Show me the feeling I can’t explain
Coming over me.
And the rain came falling down
To lift you up when I wasn’t even around.
Wasn’t there. Unaware.
What was happenin’ now?
How do you expect me to live like this?
An honest connection that did not exist.
Close your eyes and sleep.
Rest now.
You can rest now.
So there you have it. I guess this is me trying to understand everything. All that I can do is thank you, the reason for my everything. What’s done is done. You can rest now.
I wasn’t there, but I felt you over me,
And now you’re finally free.
Rest now.
You can rest now.
Robert Montgomery Sr.
December 7th, 1941 to June 11th, 2012, 8:23 P.M.
Rest in peace.
