Antemortem Lyrics


There's beauty in pain that paints every day

With colours that stay and won't fade away

In wounds that won't heal, in nightmares too real

They tell us that we can still feel

In fire we're forged and given a form

The harder the hammer the stronger the soul

For all of our tears and all of our scars

They remind us of who we are

One is for the heart we left behind

One is for a friend who said to goodbye

One is for the love we swore would never die

But that was in another lifetime

One is for the times we were denied

One is for the feelings locked inside

One is for the secrets that we've had to hide

But that was in another lifetime

We might've been kings

We might have been pawns

We might've been ducklings

We might have been swans

There's no grand design

There's only desire

You're either the pearl or the swine

For all that we've lost and our every tear

The choices we've made have brought us here

Everything we are, everything we have

We have built from fragments

One is for the heart we left behind

One is for a friend who said to goodbye

One is for the love we swore would never die

But that was in another lifetime

One is for the times we were denied

One is for the feelings locked inside

One is for the secrets that we've had to hide

But that was in another lifetime

But that was in another lifetime

Please believe in me

Because the man you see

is not the man I used to be

We may always be alone and broken

But we have survived, we are alive

Please believe in me

Because the man you see

is not the man I used to be

We may always be alone and broken

But we have survived, we are alive

One is for the heart we left behind

One is for a friend who said to goodbye

One is for the love we swore would never die

But that was in another lifetime

One is for the times we were denied

One is for the feelings locked inside

One is for the secrets that we've had to hide

But that was in another lifetime

One is for the heart we left behind

One is for a friend who said to goodbye

One is for the love we swore would never die

But that was in another lifetime

One is for the times we were denied

One is for the feelings locked inside

One is for the secrets that we've had to hide

But that was in another lifetime
