Katie's Requiem Lyrics - Singles - Marcus Orelias

(Intro: Violinder) 

(Verse 1: Marcus Orelias) 

She had an undertaking from the first day. 

So you couldnt understand the pain 

At an early age her parents split 

Leaving her to fate 

I saw her late on a summer day 

With a smile I couldnt replace 

Finding her way and a place of her own 

A tragedy playing to the world, so cold 

Her earphones on Avenged Sevenfold 

Enrolled at a school; shes known 

Wanting As to make grades. 

But the system cant accommodate her brain 

Friends she has many; myself, little to few 

Her mother told her, 1 or 2 is all you need to get through 

Cause you believe it; you conceive it 

Even on the eve of 16, out my comfort zone. 

Is when I met her through Tone 

Dark brown eyes like the night skies 

All her flaws, I never mind 

I told her one-day my stars will align 

Even though stars die off sometime 

Every place and time, youre always on my mind 

Ive got so much to say but youre so far away 

(Hook: Ja Ronn) 

Please come and save us (x2) 

(Verse 2: Marcus Orelias) 

She knew her undertaking from the first day 

So I hope you try to understand the pain 

On school days that she missed 

Inhaling problems; exhaling stresses 

Is what she finds relief in, weekends were spent at Dolores Park 

And lunch times parked between parked cars 

Who her friends are, blur so she feels alone 

Have you ever felt the worlds weight? 

When, sticks and stones begin to circulate 

On her worst day is when she told me 

Rap, if thats what makes you happy 

Who cares what people think; follow your dreams 

And when you want to stop, dont quit do it for me 

Fighting hard to cover up her sympathies 

The conversation concluded with the illusion 

Of feelings repaired by Kimball, it wasnt that simple 

When youre young, disreguarding respect 

I keep your picture around my neck 

Lifes not the best, finally met your mom 

She reflects, skies I saw in your eyes 

They lend me their light to bring me close to heaven with you. 

(Hook) 

(Bridge) 

(Verse 3: Marcus Orelias) 

Quarter 3, is where it gets steep 

The nave speak, cutting her heart deep. 

Searching for love, few empathize. 

Im falling hard, she dont recognize. 

Recognizing, she wasnt the same 

No one could heal her from the heartache 

Inside, on cloud nine til shes caught high 

Kicked out of high school, the grief intensifies 

When everyday a piece of her dies 

Abilifys abilities dont change minds 

Reassuring I could see her at Dolores Park 

But shes on a flight going somewhere far 

Feeling no one cares if she dies 

Though it matters, living in Montana 

With her father, feeling thats it 

Envision life without cliques 

In the bedroom, lets the gun click 

This wasnt how it was supposed to 

I wish you could see my heart split 

(Outro: Vinnie Anastasia) 

Every thought is a vanishing act 

Every person has purpose 

But is it worth this worthless hurtles version of life behind curtains? 

I throw verbal stones at spines 

Fixing to cause a ripple of chills 

Asking myself if this is everything 

Or is consciousness a cosmic cobweb? 

Death merely a dust sweeper 

Its easy to forget that you're alive 

To become lost in the moments of routines 

Bless those who wake up 

But don't wake from dreams 

Im no expert of death 

More of a lover if you consider how often it surfaces in my thoughts 

Like gray whales for air 

Gray whales share the same life span as humans 

But ten times the capacity to hold their breath 

Thats the stretch with people 

We have a hard time holding things 

Pick up, push forth and smile 

Youll pull through 

As you do, and do, and do
