I'm in the middle of a catastrophe I can't mourn for those behind me I stand staring at the stones upon the ground The tribute within the granite on the mound
I can't live without the ones I love I am nothing without them now
You can't imagine how it feels to me You know I won't survive this tragedy I stand counting all the stones upon the ground And read the names on the granite in the mound
I can't live without the ones I love I am nothing without them now
I can't live without the ones I need Don't know if I know how I am shadowed by the thoughts in my own head And I'm not ashamed that I cry for the dead
We may never heal from our history We may never care or feel again I walk away from counting stones upon the ground It's so peaceful here, the dead don't make a sound
I can't live without the ones I love I am nothing without them now
I can't live without the ones I need Don't know if I know how I am shadowed by the thoughts in my own head And I'm not ashamed that I cry for the dead
