Until Mourning Comes

Death lingers closer than ever
A year cursed with news of passage
Disease that spreads like terror
Like the message on that fateful day

You were perfect, unlike anyone else
I still can't make sense of this
A story too short, far from borrowed time
Sunward you climb, forever you'll fly

I will live free in your memory
Breathe the love you left behind
I will live free in your memory (in your memory)
Like the Moon held by the midnight sky

Words like daggers cut straight through the bone (straight through the bone)
A eulogy that reads just like a poem (like a poem)
A story too short, far from borrowed time
Sunward you climb, forever you'll fly

I will live free in your memory
Breathe the love you left behind
I will live free in your memory (in your memory)
Like the Moon held by the midnight sky
