Diamonds in the Rough
Somebody wise once said You'll stay alive as long there is Someone to reminisce what we went through In this lifelong mess When in doubt soothe with a harmless lie Said another and here we are Clueless like always Now standing tall upon your remains Never forgive, never forget Please speak ill of the dead Fractures of diamonds in the rough Silences that meant enough Give me the horrid, throw me the bad Pile the terrible, feed the sad You don't need to make a sound I'll wave your banner proud Here's to memories To everything that ever was real Here's to honesty Just little something to help you live Here's to memories To everything that ever was real Here's to honesty Just little something to help you live Here's to memories Here's to honesty Here's to the mark you made Just little something to help you live To everything that ever was real Here's to memories To everything that ever was real Here's to honesty Just little something to help you live Here's to the mark you made It's coarse but at least it's yours Here's to preserving the flame Beating life in a game of its own Here's to memories Here's to honesty Here's to the mark you made Here's to preserving the flame Here's to you "The heart dies a slow death, shedding its hope-like leaves. Until one day there are none, no hopes, nothing remains."
