maybe this is the most personal song i've ever tried to write.
it was hard, but i think i said what i wanted to, at least on the most basic level.
the truth is, i still think about elijah mcclain almost everyday, and feel just as heartbroken every single time.
his name is just one in a long, long, long tragic list.
lyrics
i still think about you all of the time
dancing home the day they stole your life
i didn't know you then
now just a photograph
something in that smile
i wish we could have met
i'm so tired of this hate
but it's still growing everyday
the ones who gave you ketamine
i want to make them suffer
i'm so tired of this hate
but it's still growing everyday
the ones who murder and get away
i want to make them suffer
somehow you still had love
even in your last moments
playing music for the cats
would have like to go with you
