This is a song by my favorite band from my home town of Denton TX, Centro-Metic. I feel that this song incapsulated the feeling of loss and regret of someone close to us for the first time. The feeling of guilt you have from surviving.

lyrics

If we found the time
If we found the merriment
If we found the words
We'd scratch them in new cement
But those days are gone
We've got only pictures now
A rotary wheel and some leftover shotgun shells

CH
Nobody told us that the bastards were here
All the rogues and the scoundrels are shedding their tears
No, nobody told us that the cameras were here
All the flashes and cables
Won't someone please save us

By our request
Please turn in your uniforms
Medallions and pins
For the Aries and Capricorns
File your complaints with this rookie officer
He'll lend you a smile
He'll lend you his deafest ear

CH
Nobody told us that the bastards were here
All the rogues and the scoundrels are shedding their tears
No, nobody told us that the cameras were here
All the flashes and cables
Won't someone please save us

Bah bah deout
