Unveiling Life's Tapestry: A Tribute to Unseen Bonds
Lyrics
Considering the past people wouldn't understand
Reflecting on a past that others may not comprehend
But this is about you it is not about them
Focusing on the listener, not others
See it's easy to focus my thoughts on the bad
Easily dwelling on negative thoughts
Focus my thoughts on a connection so poor it was one we never had
Reflecting on a nonexistent connection
But I have to admit without you no me
Acknowledging dependence on the subject for self-identity
Without pain no love no family tree
Recognizing the inseparability of pain, love, and family
So how will I feel when you're gone
Anticipating emotions when the subject is no longer present
When you're no longer around like mom
Comparing the absence to the loss of a mother
'Cause I've been seeing the glazed look in your eyes too long
Noticing a distant, vacant look in the subject's eyes
I felt the pain when you drank too much to move on
Feeling the pain of the subject's struggle with alcohol
Outta sight was the joy of life it was gone
Expressing the disappearance of joy from life
Outta sight was the joy of life it was gone
-From the pain inside that started as a child
Tracing inner pain back to childhood
Left abandoned alone beaten up when you cried
Recalling abandonment and mistreatment
It made you crazy and scared scarred for life
Describing the lasting impact on mental well-being
Scarred by the dark black stormy nights
Depicting emotional scars from dark experiences
So what was you to do I can't even imagine
Acknowledging forgiveness despite the pain
Despite all the pain I forgive you for what happened
-Memories of you and I
Reflecting on indelible memories
Memories we can't deny
-Memories of you and I
-Memories we can't deny
-Sitting in a stairwell alone and cold
Conveying solitude and loss after death
Behind the closed door is the soul I sold
-I gotta move on no more tears to cry
-All left the bod on the day that you died
-It's the reason to hide all my feelings inside
Hiding emotions as a coping mechanism
I even stopped asking Lord tell me why
Accepting the difficulty in understanding
It was hard for years to take a look at your picture
-Tried to find solutions in old books and scriptures
Expressing confusion, amazement, and fear
I'm puzzled dazed amazed and I'm scared
-Wonder what would happen if you were still there
-To support me surround me with unconditional love Would I be a better father for my kids
Speculating on a better self with support
If you were there would you be proud with unconditional love
Pondering pride and positive influence
So I't wouldn't be hard to show my kids
Envisioning an easier life with familial support
Have a good time together no more living unsettled
Desiring a settled and united family life
All as a family living together
Dreaming of an alternate reality
Like a dream state wondering what could have been
Contemplating what might have been
A different timeline that we all are in
Reflecting on different life paths
You and I we invite take you on a ride
Inviting the subject on an emotional journey
Imagine all of us sitting on a bench
Imagining shared grief and vulnerability
Tears over cheeks we don't have to pretend
-Spreading the Lord's love we can do it all
Visualizing a supportive, enduring partnership
Side by side ride or die flying high I and I
-Memories of you and I
Reiterating the impact of irreplaceable memories
Memories we can't deny
-Memories of you and I
-Memories we can't deny
-R.I.P. LPM
Paying tribute with "Rest in Peace"
