Marcus Orelias - Katie's Requiem Lyrics
(Intro: Violinder)(Verse 1: Marcus Orelias)She had an undertaking from the first day.So you couldn’t understand the painAt an early age her parents splitLeaving her to fate…I saw her late on a summer dayWith a smile I couldn’t replaceFinding her way and a place of her ownA tragedy playing to the world, so coldHer earphones on Avenged SevenfoldEnrolled at a school; she’s knownWanting A’s to make grades.But the system can’t accommodate her brainFriends she has many; myself, little to fewHer mother told her, “1 or 2 is all you need to get through”Cause you believe it; you conceive itEven on the eve of 16, out my comfort zone.Is when I met her through ToneDark brown eyes like the night skiesAll her flaws, I never mindI told her one-day my stars will alignEven though stars die off sometimeEvery place and time, you’re always on my mindI’ve got so much to say but you’re so far away(Hook: Ja Ronn)Please come and save us (x2)(Verse 2: Marcus Orelias)She knew her undertaking from the first daySo I hope you try to understand the painOn school days that she missedInhaling problems; exhaling stressesIs what she finds relief in, weekends were spent at Dolores ParkAnd lunch times parked between parked carsWho her friends are, blur so she feels aloneHave you ever felt the world’s weight?When, sticks and stones begin to circulateOn her worst day is when she told meRap, if that’s what makes you happyWho cares what people think; follow your dreamsAnd when you want to stop, don’t quit do it for meFighting hard to cover up her sympathiesThe conversation concluded with the illusionOf feelings repaired by Kimball, it wasn’t that simpleWhen you’re young, disreguarding respectI keep your picture around my neckLife’s not the best, finally met your momShe reflects, skies I saw in your eyesThey lend me their light to bring me close to heaven with you.(Hook)(Bridge)(Verse 3: Marcus Orelias)Quarter 3, is where it gets steepThe naïve speak, cutting her heart deep.Searching for love, few empathize.I’m falling hard, she dont recognize.Recognizing, she wasn’t the sameNo one could heal her from the heartacheInside, on cloud nine til she’s caught highKicked out of high school, the grief intensifiesWhen everyday a piece of her diesAbilify’s abilities don’t change mindsReassuring I could see her at Dolores ParkBut she’s on a flight going somewhere farFeeling no one cares if she diesThough it matters, living in MontanaWith her father, feeling that’s itEnvision life without cliquesIn the bedroom, lets the gun clickThis wasn’t how it was supposed to…I wish you could see my heart split…(Outro: Vinnie Anastasia)Every thought is a vanishing actEvery person has purposeBut is it worth this worthless hurtles version of life behind curtains?I throw verbal stones at spinesFixing to cause a ripple of chillsAsking myself if this is everythingOr is consciousness a cosmic cobweb?Death merely a dust sweeperIt’s easy to forget that you're aliveTo become lost in the moments of routinesBless those who wake upBut don't wake from dreamsI’m no expert of deathMore of a lover if you consider how often it surfaces in my thoughtsLike gray whales for airGray whales share the same life span as humansBut ten times the capacity to hold their breathThat’s the stretch with peopleWe have a hard time holding thingsPick up, push forth and smileYou’ll pull throughAs you do, and do, and do
