so much has changed yet so much remains the same strength has come for now i know my name 8 years pass by and it's been constantly a life of death and denial to not do that which i long to do so why is it so hard to follow i know i let you down but when i'm down you've picked me up you've showed me what it takes i feel your warm embrace you never let me down so much has changed yet so much remains the same strength has come for now i know your name 8 years pass by and you've been constantly a shot of death and denial you lived to do that which you chose to do why did you come why did you leave why did you bear all my burdens and leave none for me when i'm so undeserving why did you come why did leave and suffer all for me the perfect life the perfect death the perfect death
