Exquisitely Useless - Erik

Nothing ever seems to stop
Even the sun will go out
We all fight in our own way
Full of sadness, fear and doubt

So skates another victim
Into a sunrise we can't see
If the world looks a bit more grey
It's because of this disease

We all fight it in our own way
Tearing pieces from ourselves
Pulling apart what god gave us
With tools from bottom shelves

I'll hear your laughter in my ears
Long after I've gone deaf
Wish i could have sold my meager things
And stopped to help you through this mess

In your wake you left a dark place
Not because you meant to do
Something that took you far away
From what we all have to go through

The heart inside my chest burning
My swollen eyes still fail to see
What the point was for your hurting
Or why that garbage set you free

Because the sunshine isn't warm
Roses don't smell right today
If only I'd had the means
I'd have forced you just to stay

I'll see your smile inside my head
Long after I've gone blind
I'll still wonder what kept me here
When you're going through this time

Praying always makes me tired
Hope is lost on youth and dreams
We all wish we'd had a needle
To sew you up around the seams

I only say this as memoire
I hope you visit me in rest
You were like a little brother
Now i think you broke my chest

Cause this hurts far more than that one time
That you cracked me in my rib
All these broken pieces have no purpose
And this is a hard day to live

I don't know how i didn't hear you crying
But now I will for all of time
When I re-meet your children
I will tell them you were kind
