The laughing, the comradery;
They're only memories now.
The inside jokes, the music;
They've fallen silent now
The gravestone, the coffin;
They're mouldering now.
The partying, the drinking;
They're finished now.
Their memories dissapate;
Sitting in a box on the shelf.
The photos live on;
Laughing, smiling, eternally happy.
Videos sigh and wish for relief;
Replaying the good times,
Forever looping, displaying the scenes
Slashes to ashes, dust to dust,
No longer do you laugh with us.
