Losing Friends

I'll keep the light on
If you wanna step through
I'll press my face through the glass
Get a good look at the past
See how it shaped me

Color to the survivor's skin
Come let us breathe again
Smile for a while
Despite how bleak every breath seems
To the bruised

But you're not giving up, no
You're putting up a fight
Metal to your neck doesn't make you flinch
Sometimes you're still fragile
But how fragile can you be?
You're so much stronger
So much stronger than me

Yeah I lost a few
A lot when they tore through
It hurt every time, yeah
It hurt every time
And in my weakness I shot my mouth off
Yeah you can fuck around for a while
But it catches up to you

You can never cut the feeling out
Only grow past it
Lick the wounds when you can
The pain, you'll outlast it
Know good things will come
It just takes some time

In the meantime try your best
Show an ounce of love
If you see someone's in danger help them
Don't do anything expecting anything in return just give love
For today
For now

The same stark walls
A wicked sense
It moves around
The ghost still lingers
It's a hole I made in my chest
An absence that calls for my death
But I don't answer anymore
I don't answer anymore
I bite too hard
I wanna live too much
I don't answer anymore
My love's too deep
I wanna live too much
But It keeps knocking
Knocking
Knocking
I wanna listen to something else

You can never see it coming
That's not the way it works
It's just loss that comes from the absence of new memories
And I don't want the ones inside of my heart to be taken out
Even though the hurt's still there
Even though it causes pain
It just proves I have something to gain
Makes me value more what we have inside each other
And to the ones who stuck around
You have me
Don't forget
You have me

I saw your name come up the other day
Didn't bother to do anything
I still miss you
There's still heartache
I didn't bother to do a thing
I'm still here
I'm still here
I'm still here
I'm still here
