    Lyrics
    I won't glorify how you lived your lives
    Or make you pleasing for the mind
    Just two people with real flaws
    You did not live for any cause
    Not good or bad not right or wrong
    Through your deaths we all became strong
    In the end you made a mistake
    But I won't turn you into something fake

    Chorus:
    I call out into the rain
    "Nothing will ever be the same"
    And the thunder answers back
    With a deafening Crack!
    As the sky turns from white back to Black!

    Don't sugar coat the tragedy
    With pretentious false unreality
    I love you both I won't forget
    The things you did or what you said
    I think about you every day
    But I won't be led astray
    From the reality in front of me
    Before my memory blurs what I see

    That night whirls through my head
    As I attempt to speak the dead
    I watch every mistake
    And it makes my body ache

    Don't put one foot inside that door
    Unless you know what your in for
    Please do not assume
    Or end up crushed in that steal tomb

    Overstated
    Overrated
    You finally made it
    Your future slated
    Intoxicated
    They've formulated
    I've arbitrated
    And finally payed it

    The skidmarks are warm beneath my fingers as I kneel to cry I turn my eyes from the crash site and recreate that night

    Acid Burns!
    And wrong turns!
    Helped me learn!
    That what you earned!
    Cannot be explained away!

    CHORUS

    (But I understand x7)
    I call out into the rain
    That I can make it through today
    I wait for the answer back
    And hear nothing but the black!
