lyrics

It came from your chest
But it spread through the rest
Slowly choking life from your eyes
A second assault
Though courageously fought
We had to say goodbye

I'm stricken with fear
There's a time drawing near
And my chest is beset with demise
Its as deep as my heart
And it tears me apart
As I await my twelfth of July

Though your body decayed
Your heart was arrayed
With riches that words can't describe
All the life left your vessel
But evil couldn't wrestle
Your heart from remaining purified

Here I remain
With much less pain
Yet I hardly fight
Evil spreads for the kill
Taking over my will
All I can do is heave a sigh

Why don't I even cry for my twelfth of July?

Are you still proud of me if you can see what I've done?
Do you love me if you see what I've become?

No, I know you'd still love me, though a wretched, spineless fool
Oh, you'd still love me, even though you can't say it too

Hello! I'm a 21 year old DIY songwriter from Canada. I write music as catharsis more than anything, and I hope that listening to it can be cathartic for you as well.
