Chief State - 22 Reasons Lyrics




My back against the wall, I'm searching for your voice
Not a memory in sight laid around your empty room
These days alone inside this house, inside my head
Are you watching me, do you know my path?
Because I could have sworn you left me in another life.

Without breaking stride, without breaking heart
Retrace my steps to take me back to the start
Because I want to know what changed my course.

And I still remember the look in your eyes with just ounces of life left:
The look of peaceful fear.
With your family at side you move on from this life caped in love, peace and tranquility
But we all know this is not your time.
Well we all thought it was not your time.

And as time rips soul five years have told
And I still believe silence shines over me
And I'm yet to break free.
Now your body lays cold like the stories of old,
But you're free from life's choke, hands removed from your throat,
Your ship sank right down in plain sight of dry land,
But you rest in peace.

I still rescue you inside my dreams
With my soul full of hurt but my fist laced in lead.
Just a harmless twist on reality
But I can't lift this veil of pain and woe.
No I can't let this be, the injustice in everything
The oppression of cancer that kills the loved and haunts the free.

We suffer, we stand here in silence,
A mother lost her fight to live.
And I want you to know I'll break free,
And I want you to know I've found peace.
