A song about two close friends that are no longer with us. Johnny went to high school with both of them. Nic died Halloween night, getting his foot caught in train tracks. He was 25.

lyrics

"Why Am I even singing? My ears just keep on ringing
Does even matter if no one's listening?
Is this song worth writing?
Is it worth all my fighting!?!? ooooh

We've done so much but it don't matter
Turned our brains inside out into pancake batter
You can barely hear my hard heart pitter patter
So if i sing this song would it even matter?
20 years climbed the show biz ladder
None of it even MATTTEEEERS!!
Oooooh

I'm singing this song for the ones without a voice
The ones who feel they had no choice
The friends who I've lost
Who's lives came at such a cost
Goodbye to Nic and Grace
Who met such a cruel FAAAAAAAATE!!!!

This song is for all of you
There's people we've all lost
Maybe we could be the lucky few
Goodbye to Nic and Grace
I know they wouldn't want me to share in their Fate!
Shate in their fate

So I will sing this song anyway
I will learn to quiet the nightmare inside
Because i know somewhere they're listening
And i will no longer be scared of my own fate
My own fate

THIS ONES FOR NIC AND GRACE
THIS ONES FOR NIC AND GRACE
THIS ONES FOR NIC AND GRACE
THIS ONES FOR NIC AND GRACE
