I’ll pull those arrows from out of your back
One at a time
I know this bridge we built won’t last
But it’ll hold for at least a while
And when the life leaves your bones
Your soul will follow me wherever I go
It’s in the way I feel your fire
Even when I sleep at night
I stay inside the glow
I know I’m out of sight, but am I out of mind? And when I close my eyes, I dream I’ll see you in the afterlife.
I’ll pull those arrows from out of your back
Time and time again
We know that nothing good can last
But what’ll happen when we reach the end?
I’ll never let you run out of time
You’ll live forever in the back of my mind
It’s in the way I feel your fire
Even when I close my eyes
You’re always there to guide me home
I know I’m out of sight, but am I out of mind? And when I close my eyes, I dream I’ll see you in the afterlife.
I lost a vital part of me, I lost a vital part of me,
And now there’s nothing left.
I dream I’ll see you in the afterlife.

Songs like this one mean so much to me because whether its the intenion or not I cant help but relate it to how I feel about her now and what it feels like to carry her spirit on within me.

this song was actually super helpful for getting my sister into metal. she's ~5 years older than me and really only listened to generic-ish stuff that you'd hear on pop radio. this song led her to get into ERRA, Killswitch Engage, Northlane, Periphery, and even Deftones. still a long way to go until I can blast cryptopsy out loud and not have her question my sanity though.
