Lyrics for Kills the Loved, Haunts the Free
My back against the wall, I'm searching for your voice Not a memory in sight laid around your empty room These days alone inside this house, inside my head Are you watching me, do you know my path Because I could have sworn you left me in another life Without breaking stride, without breaking heart Retrace my steps to take me back to the start Because I want to know what changed my course And I still remember The look in your eyes with just ounces of life left The look of peaceful fear With your family at side you move on from this life Caped in love, peace and tranquillity But we all know this is not your time Well we all thought it was not your time And as time rips soul five years have told And I still believe silence shines over me And I'm yet to break free Now your body lays cold like the stories of old But you're free from life's choke, hands removed from your throat Your ship sank right down in plain sight of dry land But you rest in peace I still rescue you inside my dreams With my soul full of hurt but my fist laced in lead Just a harmless twist on reality But I can't lift this veil of pain and woe No I can't let this be, the injustice in everything The oppression of cancer that kills the loved and haunts the free We suffer, we stand here in silence A mother lost her fight to live And I want you to know I'll break free And I want you to know I've found peace
