11. BROTHERS

This track is basically for my best friend, visualizing how I'd want it to be if I made the ultimate sacrifice for him and gave up my life in a car accident so that he could survive. The beat is somber and slow, but there's raw emotion in it.

11: BROTHERS
 
Verse 1:
 
Let me go--
 
They're delivering my eulogy
 
And the lies they say are amusing me...
 
Don't regret--
 
You didn't hear that Honda blaring loud
 
Barrelling down the road that night
 
Death's a battle
 
That one can't fight...
 
 
Is to let me, let me go
 
I don't regret my actions
 
'Cause if I did
 
I'd be standing here...
 
Instead of you
 
So let this be my final gift I give
 
Me and my empty pockets
 
Your eyes running like a faucet
 
I'd rather have lost it this way...
 
Remember when--
 
We were youngsters
 
Running up the block
 
We skinned our knees
 
And picked the locks
 
Ripped them off the parked bikes
 
Who knew that the adult life sucked?
 
And now I'm letting go--
 
Hanging by the thinnest thread
 
Discharged from the clinic's bed
 
This is how I exit left...
 
Don't resuscitate--
 
Don't attempt to bring me back to life
 
Or fuck up this last sacrifice
 
What happened that night's
 
Meant to be...
 
And I don't blame you--
 
But I hope you know...
 
 
Bridge:
 
The biggest kick--
 
What I will miss
 
This chance to say goodbye to you...
 
 
Chorus:
 
'Cause no one ever knew me
 
Like you do...
 
So let go...
 
Let go...
 
Let go...
 
Let go...
