Memories of A Dead Man Still Alive
By: Cory L.W. Clark
A memories what's remembered
It's what still remains
But what makes it stay?
Or a better question...

Is it strong enough to stay?

Tag the minds I've afflicted
What do you remember of me?
No matter my mark
My mark never stays

Someone break this chain of failure!

Lie to me of false hope
Tell this memory of a dead man
To stay within forever
But what point is there

To remember the dead?

You're visits to me
Are like tears over my tomb
Watching the pain flow
Over my grave

Every day...

Force their words away
Blessings I don't deserve
You come forth again
To share me your tears

Spare this soul the pain!

Watching you care for me
A death grip on a dead corpse
Begging for it to live again
You're prayers are in vain

I'm dead, there's no changing that...

My soul wanders from it's grave
Many wonder where it went
Why does it not come back?
Why does it not accept the faith they offer?

Just forget about me!

Memories you think are chained
Flow away easier than you thought
False words offer a home in your heart
Because you know your mind's too weak

To remember me....

I, as a member to the dead faction
Chose to break my earthly ties
Because my memory won't last forever
It's an inevitable curse

Memories drift away....

How dare you say you'll always be there?
How dare you lie to me?
I hope you all forget about this dead man
I'd rather be left in the past

Than be forsaken in the future...

When I can see our ties breaking
Our chains suffer because of me
I choose to break them
Before they choke us both

Grief, pain, haunting....

Granite etchings of an ended mortal
Tombs are like memories
They should just be left alone
Forgotten about

Cause all they make is pain...

Even the ones held dearest
Should be left behind
If they don't exist
Why should their memories?

Why hold onto a broken chain?

This soul will drift alone
You can't heal the dead
You can't mend eternal scars
I want you to let go

Don't suffer to keep a memory of me...

Quit crying over my grave
Let go of what's left of me
Leave this kindred soul
Forget this memory

I'm gonna be forgotten about....
I'm gonna be left in the end....
Why suffer later....
For what can be ended now...

Tis the end of my sorrowful memories.....
