lyrics

The ashes of a home once full of such joy
Now sits a reminder of death
Leaves a city unrest
Smoke fills his chest til’ the end
And who’s to blame?
As I speak your name
What’s left to say is that “I wish we could just ask God why.”
But you, you left, in a rush and it makes me so afraid that death could take me any moment

You fell away
With a strike of the match summons death to his door
Those scars were wrote, but to the lives you spoke with held back and choke, just breathe
Consuming his life so young and afraid
Nothing’s ever gonna be the same since you were a ghost in flames the many lives you changed

You never got the chance to get away
Surrounded by flames he feels the pain
But I knew I couldn’t comprehend that I won’t ever see you again
Searching through my eyes and it’s plain to see how much we’re affected by this broken tragedy
Watching a friend fall, the day I can recall, takes the breath from my lungs, showing the hell of it all
But, life isn’t perfect no one could deserve this
Still wandering through these halls while I wonder why you left
Take a breath
Am I ever gonna see you again?
You were a true friend
An unfortunate means to end

You fell away
And I’m so lost without you
Oh god just take it back
Why can’t you take it back?
Oh god just take it back

I can see it solely through my eyes
The life you were given
No, I couldn’t believe anymore in this world that we live in
The future’s bleak, taunted by memories of you and me
Full of the scars you can’t see

With a strike of the match summons death to his door
Those scars were wrote, but to the lives you spoke with held back and choke, just breathe
Consuming his life so young and afraid
Nothing’s ever gonna be the same since you were a ghost in flames just want to say that your life has changed me
