Favorite Quote:
In the book of life, the answers are not in the back


Under a constant cover of clouds and rain,
He sank to the bottom of Bear Tooth River.
When I left having now idea of his anguish.
I just wish we had more time.

He sank to the bottom of Bear Tooth River.
His pallid face bruised and flecked with ice.
I just wish we had more time,
Caught in the pull of this massive black hole.

His pallid face bruised and flecked with ice,
Hands frozen solid, clutching his heart.
Caught in the pull of this massive black hole.
Being seventeen we thought we could last forever.

Hands frozen solid, clutching his heart,
He sank to the bottom of Bear Tooth River.
Being seventeen we thought we could last forever,
Under a constant cover of clouds and rain.
