Every Sympathetic face is a waste of time
I don't see why they even try
Some people crying about the past
While they're making up their bullshit lies

It's funny how when someone's gone
Enemies become their closest friends
They stand up to give a speech
Well it's a little too late to make amends

My sheets are covered in greeting cards,
One is right next to my face
I've read them all a hundred times
They still say "he's in a better place"

It's comforting to have those thoughts
But I find it hard to fool my brain
I'd like to think you can hear me somehow
I guess we all will find out one day

There is a way but I don't know how
To overcome what's been bringing us down
I pray in time we'll all come around
We've got each other to smile about

We have to deal with so many frustrations
Push through our hearts endless vacation
There will be a time for consultation
Trying hard to make desperate conversations

By the end of the year I'd had enough
Been breaking down just to fill back up
These empty glasses I've choked down
It won't be long before I drown

We all found a way to numb the pain
Some of us got sick, others stayed the same
But by the end we all had changed
Get a new face, erase your name

Winter came and took us by surprise
The air became as cold as our eyes
We felt the earth shake beneath our bones
And stayed inside because there was no snow

Only freezing rain fell from the sky
Covering the roads in deep black ice
We stayed inside to hide from the misery
It's too dangerous to drive on those streets

There was no way we could've known!
Couldn't prepare for this day!
