Marcus Orelias - Katie's Requiem lyrics

(Intro: Violinder) (Verse 1: Marcus Orelias) She had an undertaking from the first day. So you couldnt understand the pain At an early age her parents split Leaving her to fate I saw her late on a summer day With a smile I couldnt replace Finding her way and a place of her own A tragedy playing to the world, so cold Her earphones on Avenged Sevenfold Enrolled at a school; shes known Wanting As to make grades. But the system cant accommodate her brain Friends she has many; myself, little to few Her mother told her, 1 or 2 is all you need to get through Cause you believe it; you conceive it Even on the eve of 16, out my comfort zone. Is when I met her through Tone Dark brown eyes like the night skies All her flaws, I never mind I told her one-day my stars will align Even though stars die off sometime Every place and time, youre always on my mind Ive got so much to say but youre so far away (Hook: Ja Ronn) Please come and save us (x2) (Verse 2: Marcus Orelias) She knew her undertaking from the first day So I hope you try to understand the pain On school days that she missed Inhaling problems; exhaling stresses Is what she finds relief in, weekends were spent at Dolores Park And lunch times parked between parked cars Who her friends are, blur so she feels alone Have you ever felt the worlds weight? When, sticks and stones begin to circulate On her worst day is when she told me Rap, if thats what makes you happy Who cares what people think; follow your dreams And when you want to stop, dont quit do it for me Fighting hard to cover up her sympathies The conversation concluded with the illusion Of feelings repaired by Kimball, it wasnt that simple When youre young, disreguarding respect I keep your picture around my neck Lifes not the best, finally met your mom She reflects, skies I saw in your eyes They lend me their light to bring me close to heaven with you. (Hook) (Bridge) (Verse 3: Marcus Orelias) Quarter 3, is where it gets steep The nave speak, cutting her heart deep. Searching for love, few empathize. Im falling hard, she dont recognize. Recognizing, she wasnt the same No one could heal her from the heartache Inside, on cloud nine til shes caught high Kicked out of high school, the grief intensifies When everyday a piece of her dies Abilifys abilities dont change minds Rea**uring I could see her at Dolores Park But shes on a flight going somewhere far Feeling no one cares if she dies Though it matters, living in Montana With her father, feeling thats it Envision life without cliques In the bedroom, lets the gun click This wasnt how it was supposed to I wish you could see my heart split (Outro: Vinnie Anastasia) Every thought is a vanishing act Every person has purpose But is it worth this worthless hurtles version of life behind curtains? I throw verbal stones at spines Fixing to cause a ripple of chills Asking myself if this is everything Or is consciousness a cosmic cobweb? d**h merely a dust sweeper Its easy to forget that you're alive To become lost in the moments of routines Bless those who wake up But don't wake from dreams Im no expert of d**h More of a lover if you consider how often it surfaces in my thoughts Like gray whales for air Gray whales share the same life span as humans But ten times the capacity to hold their breath Thats the stretch with people We have a hard time holding things Pick up, push forth and smile Youll pull through As you do, and do, and do
