Milestone Songtext

von Silverstein

I am alive in everything I touch.
I still survive in all the ones I've loved.
Nothing dies, it lives in what we've done.
I am alive in everything I've ever touched.

A forest fire burns, I'm headed right for it.
This California spark, it takes no prisoners.
We go from light to dark,
We're both asleep at the switch.
Pendleton goes on and on,
And I don't think I can make it.

Another milestone,
Another day is gone.
We refuse communication and just write off what we've lost.
Now I'm dead you've put me in the ground.
Don't deny your implication.
You decide the ones who breathe the ones who drown.

I am alive in everything I touch.
We're all alive in everything we've ever touched.

A picturesque night scene, but something's just not right.
Hollywood kills truth, and preys on honesty.
These snakes don't hide.
Images don't lie.
All these cheaters have no shame,
They'll leave you there to die.

Another milestone,
Another day is gone.
We refuse communication and just write off what we've lost.
Now I'm dead you've put me in the ground.
Don't deny your implication.
You decide the ones who breathe the ones who drown.

I'm by your side.
It's not your pain I judge.
I'm, I'm always by your side I sympathize but stand by what I've done.

So if you're listening to this.
You're listening to me.
I'm speaking right now.
And I'm speaking forever.
My memory lives on through you.
And through everyone who's ever known you.

I am alive! (It's not about blood and guts.)
(And guilt and pain.)
(It's about this love we feel.)
(Which is all that matters.)
(It never dies.)
(It will last forever.)

Another milestone,
Another day is gone.
We refuse communication and just write off what we've lost.
Now I'm dead you've put me in the ground.
Don't deny your implication.
You decide the ones who breathe the ones who drown.

I'm by your side!
I'm by your side but stand by what I've done.
