Marcus Orelias - Katie's Requiem (Feat. Vinnie Anastasia & Violinder lyrics

rate me

(Intro: Violinder)

(Verse 1: Marcus Orelias)

She had an undertaking from the first day.

So you couldn’t understand the pain

At an early age her parents split

Leaving her to fate…

I saw her late on a summer day

With a smile I couldn’t replace

Finding her way and a place of her own

A tragedy playing to the world, so cold

Her earphones on Avenged Sevenfold

Enrolled at a school; she’s known

Wanting A’s to make grades.

But the system can’t accommodate her brain

Friends she has many; myself, little to few

Her mother told her, “1 or 2 is all you need to get through”

Cause you believe it; you conceive it

Even on the eve of 16, out my comfort zone.

Is when I met her through Tone

Dark brown eyes like the night skies

All her flaws, I never mind

I told her one-day my stars will align

Even though stars die off sometime

Every place and time, you’re always on my mind

I’ve got so much to say but you’re so far away

(Hook: Ja Ronn)

Please come and save us (x2)

(Verse 2: Marcus Orelias)

She knew her undertaking from the first day

So I hope you try to understand the pain

On school days that she missed

Inhaling problems; exhaling stresses

Is what she finds relief in, weekends were spent at Dolores Park

And lunch times parked between parked cars

Who her friends are, blur so she feels alone

Have you ever felt the world’s weight?

When, sticks and stones begin to circulate

On her worst day is when she told me

Rap, if that’s what makes you happy

Who cares what people think; follow your dreams

And when you want to stop, don’t quit do it for me

Fighting hard to cover up her sympathies

The conversation concluded with the illusion

Of feelings repaired by Kimball, it wasn’t that simple

When you’re young, disreguarding respect

I keep your picture around my neck

Life’s not the best, finally met your mom

She reflects, skies I saw in your eyes

They lend me their light to bring me close to heaven with you.

(Hook)

(Bridge)

(Verse 3: Marcus Orelias)

Quarter 3, is where it gets steep

The naïve speak, cutting her heart deep.

Searching for love, few empathize.

I’m falling hard, she dont recognize.

Recognizing, she wasn’t the same

No one could heal her from the heartache

Inside, on cloud nine til she’s caught high

Kicked out of high school, the grief intensifies

When everyday a piece of her dies

Abilify’s abilities don’t change minds

Reassuring I could see her at Dolores Park

But she’s on a flight going somewhere far

Feeling no one cares if she dies

Though it matters, living in Montana

With her father, feeling that’s it

Envision life without cliques

In the bedroom, lets the gun click

This wasn’t how it was supposed to…

I wish you could see my heart split…

(Outro: Vinnie Anastasia)

Every thought is a vanishing act

Every person has purpose

But is it worth this worthless hurtles version of life behind curtains?

I throw verbal stones at spines

Fixing to cause a ripple of chills

Asking myself if this is everything

Or is consciousness a cosmic cobweb?

Death merely a dust sweeper

It’s easy to forget that you're alive

To become lost in the moments of routines

Bless those who wake up

But don't wake from dreams

I’m no expert of death

More of a lover if you consider how often it surfaces in my thoughts

Like gray whales for air

Gray whales share the same life span as humans

But ten times the capacity to hold their breath

That’s the stretch with people

We have a hard time holding things

Pick up, push forth and smile

You’ll pull through

As you do, and do, and do
