Beautiful Mourning - To Kill Achilles

See, when you’re young there’s a connection

From a mother to a son

And that mother, she’s the light

And she carries you on

She’ll pick you up

And she’ll keep you clean

She’ll show you the love

You so desperately need

So at no point do you think

She could ever leave

She’s the constant, she’s the mother

She’s all that we need

So imagine my pain

I was only fourteen

And I was told that my mother

Was no longer here

You parted the clouds and shone down on me

Kept me from feeling so incomplete

But now I feel lost, searching always

For that missing light in the darkest of days

Because love’s what you taught

And love’s what we learned

But it’s so hard to feel loved

When you’re not around

This house it feels empty

My father’s lost for words

He’s desperately trying

But can’t make a sound (I'm so sorry)

Bring her back to me, bring her back

I can’t eat, I can’t sleep

I can’t feel, I can’t breathe

Bring her back to me, bring her back

I can’t eat, I can’t sleep

I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe

I sometimes talk to the distorted reflection

In the bottom of my empty glass

There’s only one question I’ll ever ask (Will I see you again?)

But I’m sure the answer will come as no surprise

As I stare at myself eye-to-eye

And whisper, whisper the words

«Why'd she have to die?»

Why?

Why did you have to die?

Bring her back to me, bring her back

I can’t eat, I can’t sleep

I can’t feel, I can’t breathe

Bring her back to me, bring her back

I can’t keep going on

I just wish I could see you again
