Friends come and go, and sometimes it feels like friends pass, even though they've only left your path in life.

lyrics

It's a pain, everyday's the same, when life is on sustain
Loss, makes you go insane, takes its stake in change
Like what you had was built to fade

I turn far, from sentiment, I know not, the intimate

Thoughts, twist up in my brain, like lightening tastes the rain
Sear, what's left of all I know, relearning all that's tossed
Like a ship in a storm

Fight fear's fool, to win again
Inside this house, where the dark descends

Thoughts and dreams come easily
But don't raise hopes on the willow leaves
The living have picnics in the cemeteries
While the dead lay deep in the softwood sleep

My friend, you left behind your ghost
I don't know where you've gone, but I'd like to know
I've found, new life under my skin
From death and back again, but I still hurt inside

Tied up tongue and choked up throat
I love what left now I'd like to let go

But the pain subsidizes and the tears go dry
Forgetting what I was in that winter time
Come back later for a picnic here while the dead...
Come back later for a picnic here
While what's dead lay deep in the softwood sleep
