remember me in death like you remembered me in life
almost not at all except a random tuesday night
while you were cooking dinner and watching something light
and just for second, for a brief moment in time
i suddenly existed in the clutter of your mind
then i was gone like the day into the night
remember me in death like you remembered me in life
a name with a face just for you to classify
as someone you had known or someone you passed by
a couple of characteristics that fit the paradigm
but at least it’s nice to know i had been defined
just to be abandoned in the past and left behind
there’s nowhere to go from here
there’s nowhere to go
there’s nowhere to go from here
there’s nowhere to go
(everywhere i’ve been
i’ve tried to leave
i’ll try again just to see)
except the unknown
but i just don’t know
remember me in death like you remembered me in life
a collection of the people i have loved all intertwined
a reflection of your faults you refuse to recognize
words left unsaid but have always been implied
remember me in death like you remembered me in life
one day i was born and one day i will have died
