Birthday of Shadows

[Announcer] this is an actual life event that happened in 2014.  Rest in peace Preston Loyal Yahne 

[Intro]
Silent shadows falling, cold breath in the night
A birthday turned nightmare, lost him out of sight

[Verse 1]
We laughed under stars, shared dreams in the dark
Never thought that moment would leave a permanent mark
He was the brother I chose, my guide, my kin
Never knew that night would end with him lost in sin

[Pre-Chorus]
Fingers clutch a memory, haunted by his face
A brutal final chapter, erased without grace

[Chorus]
How do you breathe when the sky falls down?
Lost in the silence, beneath the heavy clouds
Blood on the streets, screams in the air
A gift of death, in the world we used to share

[Bridge]
Burned in the trunk, a secret sealed tight
My birthday burned forever, no more light
Pain cuts deep, a dagger in my soul
Lost my brother, never feeling whole

[Outro]
Someday I’ll find peace, in the scars and the pain
But tonight, I remember, I cry in the rain
His memory lives, a light in the dark
Forever in my heart, a permanent mark 
I miss you my dude, its amazing how much your son looks just like you, he even has the same dumb laugh, I'll swing by your grave and we will have a talk soon...
