    I used to sing this song with my brother on repeat. He died last year and this part hits so hard "Plans of what our futures hold, foolish lies of growing old. It seems we're so invincible, but the truth is so cold. Now and then i try to find, a place in my mind. Where you can stay, you can stay away forever." He was 29 years old and just got married couple months before. I keep coming back to this song and thinking about him. It always ends up with me in tears, but it helps.

    So Far Away lyrics
    Never feared for anything
    Never shamed but never free
    A life to heal the broken heart with all that it could
    Lived a life so endlessly
    Saw beyond what others see
    I tried to heal your broken heart with all that I could
    Will you stay?
    Will you stay away forever?
    How do I live without the ones I love?
    Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned
    Place and time always on my mind
    I have so much to say but you're so far away
    Plans of what our futures hold
    Foolish lies of growing old
    It seems we're so invincible
    The truth is so cold
    A final song, a last request
    A perfect chapter laid to rest
    Now and then I try to find
    A place in my mind
    Where you can stay
    You can stay away forever
    How do I live without the ones I love?
    Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned
    Place and time always on my mind
    I have so much to say but you're so far away
    Sleep tight, I'm not afraid (not afraid)
    The ones that we love are here with me
    Lay away a place for me (place for me)
    'Cause as soon as I'm done I'll be on my way
    To live eternally
    How do I live without the ones I love?
    Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned
    Place and time always on my mind
    And the light you left remains
    But it's so hard to stay
    When I have so much to say and you're so far away
    I love you, you were ready
    The pain is strong and urges rise
    But I'll see you, when He lets me
    Your pain is gone, your hands untied
    So far away (so far)
    And I need you to know
    So far away (so far)
    And I need you to, need you to know

The lyrics of this art spoke and still speak to me about our friendship and the siht we endured throughout the years. Much respect to a7x.

    It's moments like these that make you guys so great as a band and makes me proud to be a fan amd consider you my favorite band. The set was done, you weren't supposed to play another song. But a little boy wanted to hear So Far Away, so you say you'll do the first verse. And you just end up doing the whole song anyway just for him. Another example, I went to Philly to see you guys with Metallica and Volbeat. And I love both Metallica and Volbeat but went to see you. And you guys had to cancel cause of Brian's wife going into labor. Most bands you'd see would just have a tech replace a band mate if they can't do it, but you didn't. The entire band went with him to be there for his wife instead of just continueing on without him. That is why in my opinion, you guys are the greatest band alive today.
