and those words were possibly the last what were your thoughts

as a dreaming child i awaken to a nightmare after a gentle 
nudge i find out you're gone

the machines that kept you alive
were careless did you ask Him to forgive you before you passed on

repeat intro

you slipped away into the ground.. you broke the vanity... 
you brought the silence ... (i hope you are with Jesus.)
