about

A song about dying young.

lyrics

So I died today
A careless miscalculation
Sleight of hand
Took my breath away

As I lie inside my velvet bed
You cling to every word I said
The vague sense God gives but mostly takes
Is a feeling one cannot shake

Thoughts of me
A burning effigy
No one can put the fire out easily
It's okay to forget me
It's alright to forget me.

So I passed on
Unaware of flesh and bones
What a scene
Lost in the eon

As each tear comes painstakingly through
I just wish I could comfort you
To think of all life we shared
You'll never feel quite prepared

Fast moving car
Traveling like a fallen star
How am I so close and so far?

It's alright to forget
It's alright to forget
(So I'm gone)
It's alright to forget
It's alright to forget
(So I'm gone)
It's alright to forget
It's alright to forget
(So I'm gone)
It's alright to forget... me.
