Memento mori.

Random bruises sketch my heart
A drink to you who fell apart
I lift the glass, oh glint and glow
As we drown, our sorrows show

It's okay to crumble
It's okay to part
Just remember every touch
You left across my heart
Just remember everything
That we held from the start.

Random songs that filled my brain
I'm standing here yet not the same
The world evolved, we fell, extinct
With nothing else to do but think

It's okay to move on
It's okay to go
Just remember all we have
Has nothing left to show
Just remember all we had
Is lain where flowers grow.

We held the board: "the end is nigh"
But still enchanted we couldn't die
Draped in black in realized mourning
Tattooed in blood: Memento mori.

It's okay to lie down
It's okay to cry
Just remember all that's born
Is surely meant to die
Just remember you and I
Have shared the deepest cry.

Rest in peace and feel release,
Forever answers Why.
