about

In Memory of Tony Goncalves

lyrics

When you took the breath that turned your throat into its cinders
was it your lungs that expelled it,
or the force of the impact?

When they held you up was it a cradle or a throne beneath your form?
It grew too great for its purpose;
I thought I would collapse in its wake

When I hear acceleration it’s like the stillness in the voice of your lovers
In a way its befitting;
a despondent reaction

I always feel it choking me
It’s a silver tongue’s weight against my teeth
Who tries to keep it together when everything falls to pieces?

Quit cleaning dirt; the swift but excruciating task of lessening hurt
Your father asked me if was I with you when you tried to leave
but I hadn’t seen you in weeks

I thought it would rain forever

I hoped against hope that all of us would be struck dumb as the idiot spoke
Your brothers would take the rest of your body away
I wondered what your ashes weighed

I thought it would rain forever

Ever fallen asleep because your body can’t take another moment of a waking nightmare?
I guess its penance for me, to take a burden from you
and I know, that you know all of this, I just hope it shows

Why would I live forever? To watch the rest of my friends die?
Why would I live forever? To watch the rest of my friends die?
Why would I live forever? To watch the rest of my friends die?

Why would I live forever? What’s the point?
