A year has passed since I left for outer space
I was burned to ashes and expired with grace
I stood there watching my flowers combust
My poisoned body being powdered to dust
Silence, then you don't know what to say
But why do you wear black for a jar of clay?
Do you really believe I'm in dismay?
You kneel before an alleged God
Gather and send prayers up above
But darling it is not as it seems
And I still am despite a flowless stream

I'm still here, I'm still here
I'm still here, don't forget about me
I'm still here, oh, I'm still here, oh
I'm still here, don't forget about me

Last night I visited her for a while
Sat on the bed next to her beautiful mind
I heard a trickling river of tears
Names she pours in her prayers
But four letters were skipped
And apart I was ripped
'Cause what is there to say
When a daughter's touch fades away?
Blooming August
A new branch flourished
Was my absence even noticed?
I'm a forever blank on our family tree
And my grandson won't even know me
'Cause my statue'll be eroded by then
Your unfair God's got me screaming again

I'm still here, I'm still here
I'm still here, don't forget about me
I'm still here, oh, I'm still here, oh
I'm still here, don't forget about me

Onwards the years will pass
And I'll be trapped in your past
A rearview glimpse to you
Just a feeling you outgrew
Black for a year, then gradual change in gear
I used to run these streets fearlessly
Before cancer ran over me
Now I'm just a fallen hero who swims afar
Haunting hallways, shining through lucarnes
And tomorrow I'll be, I'll be
A forgotten star

I'm still here, I'm still here
I'm still here, don't forget about me
I'm still here, oh, I'm still here, oh
I'm still here, don't forget about me
