He became a vessel for their memories together, keeping them safe when he was not.

I can see the millions of memories inside me, of you.  And I can wake up tomorrow and see your smile, cherish it with all I have left and embrace you for as long as you'll allow me.  Or tomorrow I can spend the day in my own company, wondering if you're even out there.  I can question your existence and mine tomorrow, or I can forget all my worries and leave them in yesterday.

Burn me alive with your lies Wipe away my tears with your blood-stained hands Break me with your teeth and how easily your fingers fit around my neck Take my life with your bare hands or the hammer they hold instead of mine Steal away my happiness in the night with your sweet voice And my hatred

There is a Wonderland in your dreams, so close your eyes in your darkest times when you feel like no one is there to save you from yourself.
