never the same - Echolyn

What can I say?

What can I do you for you?

Some are here for but a moment

Then are taken in an instant to eternity

Remember life and what’s been shared with you

That you have shared

It’s funny how we feel closer

With the ones that we love

When they’re farthest away

You can feel them so near

Just 'round the corner the memory still clear

«Do not stand at my grave and cry

I am not there I did not die.»

I say to you I will see you again

On the other side someday

«There's never endings only discovery,»

I tell myself over and over again

Some leave their mark in our hearts then go

It’s hard to continue onward

When forever comes down it comes down so heavy

Too final to forget

You’ve got to believe there’s something more

After the song is over

The dance goes on, so dance away

When all is said and done

Remember what’s been given, not taken away

But you struggle and you strain

As the undertow pulls you down

The years will spare the rod and soften the hardest blow

…but I am never the same

With time comes a certain fading and erasing

…but I am never the same

In each man

There lies a start that has no end

A means to be more

A light that shines in its own special way

Left with cold distance

I’ll always be with you

We weather the cycle

I’ll always be there

So fragile to balance

Too potent to harness

Life charges past the mortal in man

Remember all the life you shared every day

There’s never any endings

…but I’ll never be the same
