This song, it needs an explanation for you to really understand it I think but I also think most people will get the general feel to what its about so I'll leave an explantion of at first and let people come up with their own theorys. It's a little long so be prepared. In The Moment Before Everything Slips Away It was so simple, I never even saw it comming. After it happened, I then thought of running but it was too late Fell off of the cliff and then busted my head Brains spilled out and then I was dead But in that fateful moment When my eyes closed and my heart stoped it's beating When my breath exhaled it's very last I saw my life flash before me in the shape of memories I saw each lie I ever told I saw the first kiss I ever had I heard myself say I love you to my dad I heard him say he loved me too I saw every book I ever read I saw each arguement that ecaped my lips In that momemnt before I sliped into the eternal I felt more scared than I ever had The chill of death crawling up my spine And creeping into my eyes I felt a presece that I was sure was God Then it vanished and I saw each song I ever heard In waves of clouds that held no solid form I never saw the color black Until I saw the blackness after my final breath And I heard the ticking clocks Manesfisting into the unknown afterlife I felt someone grasp my hand They were warm and I thought it was heaven I felt the wind on my knees As I looked up and said "God forgive me please" "Please" Forgive me for all the wrong things I've done For not believing when I knew I should have For turning my back And then he was gone And lions scrathed at my soul As I scream and shrieked for it to let go It seemed like it was forever until it did And when I looked at the lions there were none Someone I regained thought And thought maybe there is no after, after all Maybe just a blink and then the lights flicker and fades Just a mement before everything slips away Still I held on and on to rationality There has to be something here for me Blackness is misery, but the blackness was better than what was soon to come Not even darkness was worse than nothing at all After all the memories are carried away After I saw my mom lose her faith And after every single breath I did ever take I thought maybe, just maybe there is nothing Nothing no light No dark No breath No sound Just nothing It was so simple, I never even saw it comming. After it happened, I then thought of running but it was too late Fell off of the cliff and then busted my head Brains spilled out and then I was dead ------- Okay I personally think I could have done a lot better than this. I am going to write something similar if not entirely differnt but with the same concept. My mistakes are that I didn't let this build up if I had, I believe I could make a master peice.
