No Grave, No Goodbye

**(Hook)** No grave, no goodbye, no place I can go, No stone with your name, no flowers in the snow, No final destination where the whole world moves slow, So I carry your memory everywhere that I go. No grave, no goodbye, no closure to find, You're gone from my sight but you're stuck in my mind, I can't lay flowers down, so I write you these lines, Every song that I make keeps your memory alive. **(Verse 1)** I don't have a cemetery, don't have anywhere to visit, No physical reminder with your name carved in it, Just a thousand recollections that I carry in my spirit, And a million fucking questions that I wish somebody'd answer. They say, "Go where he's buried," but there's nowhere I can take 'em, No headstone, no location, no coordinates to place 'em, So I sit inside my room and let the memories replay, Trying to find a final moment that I never got to save. No funeral destination where I can finally unload it, No patch of earth to stand upon whenever grief explodes, So I put the pain in every page and every melody I wrote, Turn the absence into art because that's all that I can hold. And I hate that there's no place where I can physically mourn, No grave where I can kneel when another shitty day is born, But your absence made a home inside the person I've become, So even without a gravestone, I'll remember where you're from. **(Hook)** No grave, no goodbye, no place I can go, No stone with your name, no flowers in the snow, No final destination where the whole world moves slow, So I carry your memory everywhere that I go. No grave, no goodbye, no closure to find, You're gone from my sight but you're stuck in my mind, I can't lay flowers down, so I write you these lines, Every song that I make keeps your memory alive. **(Verse 2)** I got pictures on my phone that I revisit when it hurts, Got your name in conversations, got your memory in these verses, Got the moments that we shared permanently embedded in me, Got a brother-shaped absence that nobody else can fill. Sometimes I drive around with nowhere specific in my vision, Just looking for a place where I can somehow feel your presence, But the roads keep moving forward while I'm stuck inside remembrance, And I hate that life continues like it didn't fucking happen. So I'll build a memorial inside every beat I touch, Put your name inside the melodies and make the speakers shake, Every verse becomes a flower, every chorus becomes a candle, Every record is a place where I can finally come and stand. I can't visit where you rest, so I'll visit where you live, Inside every fucking memory and everything I give, And if somebody asks me where my brother's resting now, I'll tell 'em he's inside my heart, that's where I keep him somehow. **(Bridge)** No stone, no name, No place to say goodbye, But love don't need a grave, And memories don't die. No dirt, no flowers, No final place to stand, So I'll carry you forever In every song I am. **(Final Hook)** No grave, no goodbye, no place I can go, No stone with your name, no flowers in the snow, No final destination where the whole world moves slow, So I carry your memory everywhere that I go. No grave, no goodbye, no closure to find, You're gone from my sight but you're stuck in my mind, I can't lay flowers down, so I write you these lines, Every song that I make keeps your memory alive. No grave, no goodbye, but I'll never let you fade, I'll keep telling your story with every record that I make, And wherever I go, you're a part of my soul, You don't need a grave for your memory to have a home.
