"I miss you so much Tyler...Why'd you leave me alone..."
-
Twice a week I pass by the church that held your funeral
and the pastor's words come pouring down like rain.
How he called you a sinner but said now you walk with Jesus,
so the drugs that took your life aren't gonna cause you any pain.
-
"Hey Mini, just wanted to let you know that me and the rest of the guys are here for you when you need us. I know how much you loved Tyler...how much you miss him, we miss him too...I hope we speak real soon. I love you man, we all do."
-
I don't think he even knew your name.
I refused to kneel or pray. I won't remember you that way
but I lit you a candle in every cathedral across Europe.
I hope you know you're still my patron saint.
-
"I love you so much Tyler...but don't worry, we'll see each other again soon."
-
I tried to forgive but I can't forget the cigar in his fist.
I know that they were heartsick but I need someone to blame
and I know how they blame me. I know what you'd say.
You'd tell me it was your fault. I should put all my arrows away.
-
"Why is it so hard without you Tyler? Why did you have to leave me so soon...they don't understand how much it hurts...you would've understood, you always knew..."
-
I'm sure there ain't a heaven,
but that don't mean I don't like to picture you there.
I bet you're bumming cigarettes off saints.
I'm sure you're still singing
but I'll bet that you're still just a bit out of key.
With that crooked smile pushing words across your teeth.
-
"I remember all the times we shared, I've been watching our videos, gaming and us. I miss your touch..."
-
You were heat lightning.
You were a storm that never rolled in.
You were the northern lights in a southern town, a caustic fleeting thing.
I'll bury your memories in the garden;
I'll watch them grow with the flowers in the spring.
I'll keep you with me.
-
"Evan and Jonathan came to see me, they flew all the way over here just to make sure I was okay. I just couldn't stop watching our videos..."
-
These wolves in their suits and ties
saying "kid you can trust me."
Charming southern drawl, sunken eyes.
Buying good will in hotel lobbies.
They got fistfuls of pills to make sure you don't hurt no more.
You don't gotta feel anything.
Got their fangs in our veins.
Got their voice in our heads.
Got our arms in their grips.
No, we can't shake free.
This god damn machine; hungry and heartless.
My whole generation got lost in the margin.
We put our faith in you. You turned a profit.
Now we're drowning here under your waves.
Drowning held under your waves.
Drowning here. Drowning here.
You can't have my friends. You can't have my brothers.
You can't have my friends. You can't have my brothers.
You can't have my friends. You can't have my brothers.
You can't have me. No, you can't have me.

A/n look! I did one myself for once! Lol I'm so in love with this song...I made it into a thing because it kinda just fit for MiniCat. I was gonna do it for H2OVanoss but it wouldn't make since because they don't live in Europe but Mini does so I made it for MiniCat.

Was it any good? I kinda winged it a bit and I don't know if it turned out good or not...

Either way, I hope he enjoyed!
