<Intro> <chorus>
I got to know Death today.
He sat down next to me and
whispered your name. <chorus>
Six feet under...You are not.
Wisped away by time and space.
6 years gone and wasted.
I got to know Death today.
<chorus>
I got to know Death today.
He sat down next to me and
whispered your name. <chorus>
A tomb aloft my heart where
you shall live.
A soul too bright. A smile too dim.
This world so hard and bright
for your sensitive heart.
You saw it all and we listened not.
I got to know Death today.
He sat down next to me and
whispered your name.
Father time marches on
with boots like scars.
Keenly sharpening its presence
in to shape.
You cannot wither. You cannot
succeed.
There will always be an Elana
shaped hole in my heart.
<chorus>
I got to know Death today.
He sat down next to me and
whispered your name. <chorus>
How do I ponder?
How do I roam?
Eyes never wrinkled.
Skin ever soft.
How is this the end for you?
How do I forgive myself?
<chorus>
I got to know Death today.
He sat down next to me and
whispered your name. <chorus>
I feel it in song.
I feel it in rhythm.
Your absence is keen.
Your absence is ripe.
Next to me walking,
a shadow in the distance.
A voice in my head
my conscience
my sister.
Mourning you feels like
a show.
Tap Tippity Tap.
How do I wrap this gift
in a bow
With nowhere to send it to?
A Wealth of Knowledge.
A Wealth of Pain.
There is an Elana shaped
hole in my heart.
<chorus>
I got to know Death today.
He sat down next to me and
whispered your name. <chorus>
Time's in a bottle he said
Drink Slowly, Drink Deeply.
