Requiem

We've reached the end of an era An era of failures, destruction and errors When you put me in my grave Bury me face down So I can see The hell I've made All the stories I have told Have been for everyone else but me All the hardships, all the battles Have been a march toward oblivion Maybe when I die I'll be beautiful Once the flowers grow from my grave Why's it so hard to see I'm barely breathing? Why's it so hard to see? That it's hard to take a breath When you're always drowning That I'm prepared for death (I'm prepared for death but is death prepared for me?) Let the tears of God pour down Though I'm sure they're tears of joy Let my body and soul be destroyed As the storm thunders in applause Limbo's waiting for me So let the pouring rain Wash away all of me So there can be sun a- I'm stuck in a cycle of always trying to please But what's the point of tryna please if you're never happy? Worked myself down to my bones and you want the marrow I can feel my soul leave And now I'm hollow Like a spider circling the drain That used to dance on the ceiling Let the tears of God pour down Though I'm sure they're tears of joy Let my body and soul be destroyed As the storm thunders in applause Limbo's waiting for me So let the pouring rain Wash away all of me So there can be sun again So there can be sun again I've given everything I am and everything I'm not The skies have opened up, but heaven won't have me I know that when I dissipate, I have limbo waiting And the dead that I owe will be expiated There's something so precious in the pouring rain That makes me forget the heartache and pain That I put into words, lost in a sea of the same Stories you'll forget once I finish my declaim Let the tears of God pour down Though I'm sure they're tears of joy Let my body and soul be destroyed As the storm thunders in applause Limbo's waiting for me So let the pouring rain Wash away all of me So there can be sun again I'm just tired, so tired Spilling my blood for words on a page Once this requiem ends, forget my name Let the tears of God pour down Though I'm sure they're tears of joy Let the pouring rain Wash away all of me
