To Remain a Memory

So this is how it ends
Asleep just like the start
It's too late to make amends
As I count down the beats left in my heart

Tried so hard to stay Awake
But in the end, I was meant to sleep
Oh, I tried to fight my gravity
But the quicksand pulled me in too deep

Most will remember me
As a freak
But no one will argue
That I was never afraid to speak

So where are my words?
The words I held in such esteem
Did they ever mean a thing
Or was this always just a dream?

I don't want you to blame yourself
For something nobody could do
If someone could've saved me
That someone would've been you

Now will I fade, fade away?
Will my Ultraviolet memories fade to gray?
And will your love for me stay?
But what if I refuse to let them forget?
The legends that I left

The ones they haven't told yet?
After all I'm not like anyone they've met

People say that no one dies from quicksand
But people have been wrong before
Do you know the legends of the Blue Hole?
Doesn't the thought of it just stir your soul?
Now do you think that it could?
I wish I could be better, I wish I could be strong
I wish that I could wear this skin and it won't feel so wrong
Be the me that I've been scared to be, for so long

I know that I will linger, I know I will remain
A memory that you keep inside the confines of your brain
So tell them I burned brightly, tell them I lit the sky
Tell them to save their tears 'cause we know legends never die

I will not fade, fade away
As an Ultraviolet memory, I will remain
My love for you will always stay, oh
