These eyes of adolescence
Had never known farewell
Until they came to witness
What that December held
Climb the ladder
Through the window
Turn the corner
To what awaits
Stop the clock every second burns
Shattered memories, cutting deeper
We learn through loss, we'll reminisce
And become one with this bleak bliss
Your arms that once held this child safe
Lie crossed, frozen in rest
So summer came and went
But you never returned
In the wake of orphaned innocence was our lesson learned
Look into the eyes of certainty
No stranger to the end
And know the face of mortality
Pain gives way to peace
You took the world took my best friend
Into despair I won't descend
So let's stop the clock every second burns
Shattered memories, cutting deeper
We learn through loss, we'll reminisce
And become one with this bleak bliss
If I could reach the firmament
I'd tear the skyline down
