  • The past is dead
    I walk the funeral march and I will make my peace
    The past is dead
    I walk the funeral march and I will make my peace

    If we stop the clock, will I reappear?
    Pulled from the drift, there goes another year
    The stars align, the planets shift
    All the infinite moments that we've missed

    There's parts of me that are lost forever
    At least we're all lost together
    We all remember youth like it's dead and gone
    Like our favorite line from a forgotten song

    I'll show you my hurt and I'll show you my heart
    A life lost in the dark

    The past is dead
    I walk the funeral march and I will make my peace
    The past is dead
    I walk the funeral march and I will make my peace

    When I reach the end, will I beg for more?
    Will I look back, or step through the door?
    I stand beneath a monolith
    Do you ever feel like you won't be missed?

    There's parts of me that are lost forever
    At least we're all lost together
    I heard that this was only a ride
    So there's no worth in waiting for death to arrive

    All we are, is just a name, it's all we are
    Our skin, it shows, these crippled bones
    Youth sinks alone

    All we are, is just a name, it's who we are
    Our skin, it shows, these crippled bones
    Youth sinks alone

    I'll show you my hurt and I'll show you my heart
    A life lost in the dark

    There's parts of me that are lost forever
    At least we're all lost together

    There's parts of me that are lost forever Writer/s: Alex Anthony Dean, Daniel Joseph Searle, Samuel David Carter, Thomas Duncan Searle
