Memento Vivere Lyrics

These scars make me who I am
A weary heart just waiting for the end
We're all holding on to this lament
And embraced by arms of resentment
We'll make the most of the warmth they emit
Close my eyes, don't leave me here
This is for those who are so lost, they barely know themselves
For the ones buried beneath hopelessness
Guidance is given by your hands
You offered hope and raised me from the dead
Recreant, be brave and face your fears you said
Beloved I know you'll never let me fall again
I'll hold on, I've found safety here
This is for those who are so lost, they barely know themselves
For the ones buried beneath hopelessness
This is for those who are so frail, from bearing the weight of the world
For the ones plagued by lowliness and a heavy heart
It's time we made our way back home
My hope remains unbroken
It's time we made our way back home
Never stop believing
Home is forever
A beating heart
This is for those who are so lost, they barely know themselves
For the ones buried beneath hopelessness
This is for those who are so frail, from bearing the weight of the world
Upon their shoulders
Breathe, you're home now, it's over

I Killed the Prom Queen is an Australian melodic metalcore band which formed in 2000 in Adelaide, South Australia with mainstays JJ Peters on drums and Jona Weinhofen on guitar. The band featured prominently on the Australian live music scene and toured the USA, Japan and parts of Europe several times. They issued two studio albums, When Goodbye Means Forever... (2003) and Music for the Recently Deceased (2006) – the latter reached the top 30 on the ARIA Albums Chart.

The group split up in April 2007 when Weinhofen joined United States band Bleeding Through and Peters joined Australian hardcore punk group Deez Nuts. I Killed the Prom Queen reformed to play a farewell tour in mid-2008 and released a live album and DVD, Sleepless Nights and City Lights, which peaked in the top 50. In May 2011, the band reformed for the Destroy Music Tour and indicated plans to work on a third studio album.
