Laura

by Col. Sayaka Miki

A collection of songs based on or inspired by the webcomic Two Kinds, with emphasis on the character Laura. Some songs may not seem like they match up with anything from the comic, but they are all the direct result of a train of thought brought on by reading Two Kinds.

21. Holding On To Memories

I lie alone like I'm at home
But actually I am dying
I'm floating on the blue-lit dawn
I cannot live through this game of cat and mouse

Like I care what you think
Drape your rags over me
Bury me in your dreams
Come someone take me away

I can barely remember
When we were together
It's all that's holding me
In one piece

And I find myself holding on to your memory
Facing the dawn of eternity
I can't move on, it's the end of me
So I'm holding on to memories
When we both know I would rather be
Holding on to you

I'm withering, fading into the blue
Scatter my ashes in the sea would you
When I die I want you to know the truth
I have always felt so much love for you

Come here and stand with me
Please take my hand, you see
Everything I ever did in life
I did all of it only so you would stay

And my past slips away in shades
I don't mind if they stay that way
They're not what I want, all I need is you
In my arms

And I find myself holding on to your memory
Facing the dawn of eternity
I can't move on, it's the end of me
So I'm holding on to memories
When we both know I'm your enemy

And I'm holding on to your memory
Facing the dawn of eternity
I can't move on, it's the end of me
So I'm holding on to memories
When we both know I would rather be
Holding on to you
