Reminiscing
The blood of all
who went before me
Threatens to drown
me in the failures
Of my life
So many brothers
Left six feet deep
In pursuit of
A twisted dream
Of respect,power and money
In the end
All it brought them
Was a casket
And left their loved ones
With nothing but
memories and pain
I sit here reminiscing
about the times we had
Smoking and drinking
The future nothing but
a distant dream
Too caught up
In the now
to worry about anything
I've come to resent
Our ignorance
We were brought down
by a mistaken belief
in our omnipotence
Yet somehow I'm
still here
Missing everyone that fell
Left alone to fight
my way through
this life
Left alone to figure
out why
The blood of all
who went before me
Threatens to drown
me in the failures
Of my life
So many brothers
Left six feet deep
In pursuit of
A twisted dream
Of respect,power and money
In the end
All it brought them
Was a casket
And left their loved ones
With nothing but
memories and pain
I sit here reminiscing
about the times we had
Smoking and drinking
The future nothing but
a distant dream
Too caught up
In the now
to worry about anything
I've come to resent
Our ignorance
We were brought down
by a mistaken belief
in our omnipotence
Yet somehow I'm
still here
Missing everyone that fell
Left alone to fight
my way through
this life
Left alone to figure
out why
