Too Close To Touch - 'Eiley' (Full Album Stream)

"Eiley" by Too Close To Touch from the album 'Haven't Been Myself,' available now

Lyrics

How can you say this was all part of your plan. Start explaining. Crafted from hope and hospital beds, she’s gone. And honestly… You fed a dose of comatose to what I love most. Death is not a game with the ones I hold close. She was mine, mine, you can't deny. Three years is too quick to die. Take me instead, you only loved, I only consume. I'm worthless to the world. You're innocent and pure. God, why didn't you choose me over her. Tell me she's listening as I search for signs of why I'm standing. Left with this hole, that six feet of dirt can’t fill. So why don't you just look me in the eyes. Say it straight to my face. What type of man takes a girl from her place. She was mine, mine, you can’t deny. Three years is too quick to die. Take me instead, you only loved, I only consume. I'm worthless to the world. You're innocent and pure. God, why didn't you choose me over her. So answer me, how am I supposed to deal with this. Why did she die, when I'm the one deserving it. And what the hell am I to tell my little sisters. To ease their tears when they tell me that they miss her. And what about my mother and my father. They lost a child and deep inside they whither. God, I'd do anything to ease the pain. That ripped through the chest of my brothers that day. She was mine, she was mine. What did we do to make you take her from our lives. She was mine, she was mine. Oh God, oh what did we do. Take me instead, you only loved, I only consume. I'm worthless to the world. You're innocent and pure. God I question your judgment. You're innocent and pure. I'm worthless to the world. Tell me why you picked me over her...

This song deserves to be called so much more than just "sad". It's haunting, angry, sorrowful, pure human emotion, and absolute despair. All of that comes straight from his passionate rage and sobs that are so very audible. Simply nothing else like this track.

[TrinityRourke]

We know you are holding her close. We love you so much, Keaton. And you were *definitely not* worthless to this world.

[AJMassive]

I had no idea Keaton passed. I’m so shook right now. I remember when I first discovered this band. I was going through the worst of my depression and their music helped me so much. RIP 💜

[unitewithmusic.lyricsletra]

This is as emotional as it can be
Rip to eiley

[custardking]

fuck me...
Did anyone else get shivers down their spine?

[cyberostrich]

Rest in Paradise Keaton. You've helped me through some rough times. Your vocals were beyond majestic, thank you for sharing your voice to the world.

[limi.]

REST IN PEACE LEGEND…..this is so hard to believe you’re gone.

[EmskoppSascha]

The hardest song every written by one of the most missed musicians. RIP Keaton, hope you been with your sister now you both are smiling down from up there. We love you! ♥

[ewan]

This is why I love screaming vocals, the emotion they can convey is incredible. RIP Eiley and all the great people who are no longer with us. Music is a wonderful thing.

[YleniaMars]

At least you're with her, now. My heart is broken. One of my favorite voices out here, bye Keaton

[Swerve]

RIP Keaton. Glad you’re reunited with Eiley at least.

[thechuckster]

I cried to this one. This is the best written song I have ever experienced.

[GimmerGir]

Rest in peace, Eiley Joy. You got far less time than what you deserved. What a beautiful tribute. By far the most impressive song this band has ever made. <3

[PixelNorse]

From 2:44 onward... That bit, is something else, the shivers and shakes in his voice, the pure pain you feel for him, good god my heart hurt.

[Wizardries]

Rest in peace, Keaton. May you and Eiley be together again.

[lisaduncan]

Hard to listen to. You're holding Eiley in your arms forever now dear boy. I'm sorry I only knew your music because of death. You were beyond talented and gifted. RIP

[steadysean]

you know a song is legit when you get shivers down your spine multiple times in 4 in a half minutes...

[WowDude]

This song hits hard. I know this is about his sister, but it reminds me of my dad. He was what kept my family together and then he was gone. I was away and I couldn't even get back for his funeral. I've always been the screw up in the family, but he put up with me pretty good. Now he's gone. Couldn't be at his funeral, he couldn't be at my wedding. He'll never be at a birthday or a holiday, he won't even be home to just talk to. He'll never be there for anything ever again.
This isn't for people to feel bad for me, I just need some sort of outlet and I can't find it.
I miss you every day, dad. I'd trade places with you in a heartbeat.

(Lyrics)

How can you say this was all part of your plan.
Start explaining.
Crafted from hope and hospital beds, shes gone.
And honestly...

You fed a dose of comatose to what I love most.
Death is not a game with the ones I hold close.
She was mine, mine, you can't deny.
Three years is too quick to die.

Take me instead, you only loved, I only consume.
I'm worthless to the world, you're innocent and pure.
God, why didn't choose me over her?

Tell me shes listening as i search for signs
Of why I'm standing.
Left with this hole that six feet of dirt can't fill.
So why don't you

Just look in me in the eyes. Say it straight to my face.
What type of man takes a girl from her place.
She was mine, mine, you can't deny.
Three years is too quick to die,

Take me instead, you only loved, i only consume.
I'm worthless to the world, you're innocent and pure.
God, why didn't you choose me?
Take me instead, you only loved, I only consume.
I'm worthless to the world, you're innocent and pure.
God, why didn't you choose me over her?

So answer me, how am I supposed to deal with this.
Why did she die, when I'm the one deserving it.
And what the hell am I to tell my little sisters
To ease their tears when they tell me that they miss her.
And what about my mother and my father
They lost a child and deep inside they whither.
God, I'd do anything to ease the pain.
That ripped through the chest of my brother's that day.

She was mine, she was mine
What did we do to make you take her from our lives?
She was mine, she was mine
Oh God, oh what did we do?

Take me instead, you only loved, I only consume
I'm worthless to the world, you're innocent and pure
God, why didn't you choose me?
Take me instead, you only loved, I only consume.
I'm worthless to the world, you're innocent and pure
God I question your judgment
You're innocent and pure. I'm worthless to the world.
Tell me why you picked me over her...

R.I.P little Eiley :( <3

This song is even more heartbreaking now that he’s no longer with us. 💔
