E' trascorso un anno esatto oggi, 20 luglio. Sono due giorni che penso a come poter creare una sorta di post commemorativo per Chester.
Alla fine ho deciso di ricordarlo nel modo più diretto possibile: con la sua musica, la sua voce, i suoi testi. Perché come è stato ripetuto da tanti durante quest'anno, Chester ha aiutato tanta gente, ha salvato tanta gente...ma non ce l'ha fatta con se stesso.
Quindi grazie per tutto quello che ci hai lasciato Chester. Grazie per aver permesso a tante persone in tutto il mondo di conoscerti, di sentire il tuo sostegno, di sentirsi meno sole. Perché quando fuori era tutto buio, era bello sapere di potersi mettere le cuffie alle orecchie e ritrovare un amico.
Spero che tu sia finalmente in pace lassù.

I dreamed I was missing
You were so scared
But no one would listen
Cause no one else cared
After my dreaming
I woke with this fear
What am I leaving
When I'm done here?
So, if you're asking me, I want you to know
When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed
And don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory
Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest
Don't be afraid
I've taken my beating
I've shared what I've made
I'm strong on the surface
Not all the way through
I've never been perfect
But neither have you
So, if you're asking me, I want you to know
When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed
And don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory
Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest
Forgetting
All the hurt inside you've learned to hide so well
Pretending
Someone else can come and save me from myself
I can't be who you are
When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed
And don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory
Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest
Forgetting
All the hurt inside you've learned to hide so well
Pretending
Someone else can come and save me from myself
I can't be who you are
I can't be who you are

I close both locks below the window
I close both blinds and turn away
Sometimes solutions aren't so simple
Sometimes goodbye's the only way
And the sun will set for you
The sun will set for you
And the shadow of the day
Will embrace the world in grey
And the sun will set for you
In cards and flowers on your window
Your friends all plead for you to stay
Sometimes beginnings aren't so simple
Sometimes goodbye's the only way
And the sun will set for you
The sun will set for you
And the shadow of the day
Will embrace the world in grey
And the sun will set for you
Video
I'm dancing with my demons
I'm hanging off the edge
Storm clouds gather beneath me
Waves break above my head
Headfirst hallucination
I wanna fall wide awake now
You tell me it's alright
Tell me I'm forgiven tonight
But nobody can save me now
I'm holding up a light
I'm chasing out the darkness inside
'Cause nobody can save me
Stared into this illusion
For answers yet to come
I chose a false solution
But nobody proved me wrong
Headfirst hallucination
I wanna fall wide awake
Watch the ground giving way now
You tell me it's alright
Tell me I'm forgiven, tonight
But nobody can save me now
I'm holding up a light
I'm chasing out the darkness inside
'Cause nobody can save me
Been searching somewhere out there
For what's been missing right here
I've been searching somewhere out there
For what's been missing right here
I wanna fall wide awake now
So tell me it's alright
Tell me I'm forgiven, tonight
And only I can save me now
I'm holding up a light
Chasing out the darkness inside
And I don't wanna let you down
But only I can save me
Been searching somewhere out there
For what's been missing right here

Should've stayed
Were there signs I ignored
Can I help you not to hurt anymore
We saw brilliance when the world was asleep
There are things that we can have
But can't keep
If they say
Who cares if one more light goes out
In a sky of a million stars
It flickers, flickers
Who cares when someone's time runs out
If a moment is all we are
Or quicker, quicker
Who cares if one more light goes out
Well I do
The reminders pull the floor from your feet
In the kitchen, one more chair than you need
Oh and you're angry
And you should be
It's not fair
Just 'cause you can't see it
Doesn't mean it isn't there
If they say
Who cares if one more light goes out
In a sky of a million stars
It flickers, flickers
Who cares when someone's time runs out
If a moment is all we are
Or quicker, quicker
Who cares if one more light goes out
Well I do

This is not the end,
This is not the beginning
Just a voice like a riot,
Rocking every revision
But you listen to the tone,
and the violet rhythm and
Though the words sound steady,
Something empty's within 'em
We say "Yeah",
With fists flying up in the air
Like we're holding onto something,
Thats invisible there
Cuz we're living at the mercy of,
The pain and the fear
Until we dead it, Forget it,
Let it all dissapear
Waiting for the end to come,
Wishing I had strength to stand
This is not what I had planned
It's out of my control
Flying at the speed of light,
Thoughts were spinning in my head
So many things were left unsaid
It's hard to let you go
(oh) I know what it takes to move on,
I know how it feels to lie
All I wanna do
Is trade this life for something new
Holding on to what
I haven't got
Sitting in an empty room,
Trying to forget the past
This was never meant to last
I wish it wasn't so
(oh) I know what it takes to move on,
I know how it feels to lie
All I wanna do
Is trade this life for something new
Holding on to what
I haven't got
What was left when that fire was gone?
I thought it felt right but that right was wrong
All caught up in the eye of the storm,
And trying to figure out what it's like moving on
And i don't even know what
kind of things I've said,
My mouth kept moving and
my mind went dead
So, picking up the pieces,
now where to begin?
The hardest part of ending is
starting again
All I wanna do
Is trade this life for something new
Holding on to what
I haven't got
This is not the end,
This is not the beginning
Just a voice like a riot,
Rocking every revision
But you listen to the tone,
and the violet rhythm and
Though the words sound steady,
Something empty's within 'em
We say "Yeah!"
With fists flying up in the air
Like we're holding onto something
Thats invisible there,
Cuz we're living at the mercy of
The pain and the fear
Until we dead it, Forget it,
Let it all disapear
(Holding on to what I haven't got)
VideoI'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless
Lost under the surface
I don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure
Of walking in your shoes
[Caught in the undertow
Just caught in the undertow]
Every step that I take is
Another mistake to you
[Caught in the undertow
Just caught in the undertow]
I've become so numb
I can't feel you there
Become so tired
So much more aware
I'm becoming this
All I want to do
Is be more like me
And be less like you
Can't you see that you're smothering me
Holding too tightly
Afraid to lose control
'Cause everything that you thought I would be
Has fallen apart right in front of you
[Caught in the undertow
Just caught in the undertow]
Every step that I take is
Another mistake to you
[Caught in the undertow
Just caught in the undertow]
And every second I waste
Is more then I can take
I've become so numb
I can't feel you there
Become so tired
So much more aware
I'm becoming this
All I want to do
Is be more like me
And be less like you
And I know
I may end up failing too
But I know
You were just like me
With someone disappointed in you
I've become so numb
I can't feel you there
Become so tired
So much more aware
I'm becoming this
All I want to do
Is be more like me
And be less like you
I've become so numb
I can't feel you there
Tired of being what you want me to be
I've become so numb
I can't feel you there
Tired of being what you want me to be

Crawling in my skin
These wounds / They will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing, confusing what is real
There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
Consuming / Confusing
This lack of self control I fear is never ending
Controlling / I can't seem
To find myself again
My walls are closing in
(Without a sense of confidence /
I'm convinced there's just too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before
So insicure
Crawling in my skin
These wounds / They will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing, confusing what is real
Discomfort, endlessly has pulled itself upon me
Distracting / Reacting
Against my will I stand beside my own reflection
It's haunting / How I can't seem...
To find myself again
My walls are closing in
(Without a sense of confidence /
I'm convinced there's just too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before
So insicure
Crawling in my skin
These wounds / They will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing, confusing what is real
(There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface, Consuming)
Confusing what is real
(This lack of self control I fear is never ending, Controlling)
Confusing what is real

It starts with
One thing
I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind
I designed this rhyme
To explain in due time
All I know
Time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away
It's so unreal
Didn't look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Trying to hold on, but didn't even know
Wasted it all just to
Watch you go
I kept everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me
will eventually be a memory of a time when
I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
One thing
I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind
I designed this rhyme
To remind myself how
I tried so hard
In spite of the way you were mocking me
Acting like I was part of your property
Remembering all the times you fought with me
I'm surprised
It got so far
Things aren't the way they were before
You wouldn't even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then
But it all comes back to me
In the end
You kept everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me
will eventually be a memory of a time when
I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
And for all this
There's only one thing you should know...
I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
...e ce ne sarebbero così tante altre da pubblicare, ma facciamo che per stasera mi fermo.
