From the recording Alone with My Thoughts
Lyrics
Verse 1]
Shadows gather at the edge of my bed,
Whispers linger from the voices of the dead.
They show me their joy, they show me their pain,
Love in the sunlight, tragedy in rain.
[Pre-Chorus]
They say — don’t waste your breath on hollow things,
Life is a bird with broken wings.
[Chorus]
My best friends are the dead, they speak to me at night,
Telling me to live while I’ve still got the light.
There’s truth in the darkness, there’s truth in the flame,
Tomorrow’s not promised, it won’t be the same.
So drink the small moments like a rare vintage wine,
They’re gone in an instant, you can’t press rewind.
[Verse 2]
They laugh at the battles we fight every day,
At the money and pride we throw away.
They remind me that time is a thief in disguise,
The real gold is hidden in ordinary lives.
[Pre-Chorus]
They say — there’s always another side of the coin,
Every ending a beginning to join.
[Chorus]
My best friends are the dead, they speak to me at night,
Telling me to live while I’ve still got the light.
There’s truth in the darkness, there’s truth in the flame,
Tomorrow’s not promised, it won’t be the same.
So drink the small moments like a rare vintage wine,
They’re gone in an instant, you can’t press rewind.
[Bridge – Heavy, Spoken/Shouted]
I hear them call — enjoy the day!
Don’t let the moments slip away.
In the silence they still remain,
Carved in memory, carved in pain.
[Final Chorus – Explosive, Full Band]
My best friends are the dead, they speak to me at night,
Telling me to live while I’ve still got the light.
There’s truth in the darkness, there’s truth in the flame,
Tomorrow’s not promised, it won’t be the same.
So drink the small moments like a rare vintage wine,
They’re gone in an instant, you can’t press rewind.
[Outro – Haunting, Fading]
My best friends are the dead…
But they keep me alive.
