When everything came crashing down the emptiness tore
me up from the inside out the silence broke me down
to nothing through the ashes of this year I saw you
buried and laid to rest It was so hard to hold back
all my tears I never thought I'd see the day that I
would have to mourn a fallen friend so I stand in disbelief,
Unwilling to accept I try to understand how a world
consumed by darkness it's a tragedy that it lost one
of it's brightest lights in a time when things fall
apart so quick I still hold on to the pieces and keep
you alive This requiem is all I haveto show that you
are in my heart to show that you are still with me
in a time when things fall apart so quick and mourning
became a constant it's up to me to make sure that you
arent' forgotten from this day forward I will not relive
the days of grieving release your ghost and let it
finally rest your imprint still stays with me I held
on to your words they were a guide when the storm was
right on top of me the days behind me are broken your
spirit still lives on inside through it all I will
remember I will remember you I will carry on for you
