[For the full story - check out my Alpha Centauri playlist] [Verse 1] As the hallucination fades The memory remains The loss of her child That lingering pain [Verse 2] And though time heals all pain It never truly goes away And today's events Brought it to the surface again [Pre-chorus] Holding herself together for the sake of the crew They are facing their demons too [Chorus] Trying to carry on Her strength starts to fail It feels the pain will last forever Just a little longer As the echoes slip away She will find a way to hold it together [Short Guitar Solo] [Bridge] As the days go by In secret she cries Kept secret from the rest of the crew [Soaring emotional guitar solo] [Verse 3] Keeping busy through her duties Life goes on Still a struggle sometimes The memory's never gone [Verse 4] She grieved for a long time But she recovered in the end And though things are tough now She will recover again [Pre-chorus] Holding herself together for the sake of the crew They are facing their demons too [Chorus] Trying to carry on Her strength starts to fail It feels the pain will last forever Just a little longer As the echoes slip away She will find a way to hold it together [Emotional guitar solo] [Pre-chorus] Holding herself together for the sake of the crew They are facing their demons too [Chorus] Trying to carry on Her strength starts to fail It feels the pain will last forever Just a little longer As the echoes slip away She will find a way to hold it together [Repeat Chorus] Trying to carry on Her strength starts to fail It feels the pain will last forever Just a little longer As the echoes slip away She will find a way to hold it together [Slow guitar Solo] [Ending]
