A life to remember

A song i thought of off the top of my head, and present it, to you.

(Chorus)

"We live in a world of tears

A world where you live with your biggest fears.

Any day in hell, you can make a friend.

Any day aswell, it could be your end.

I can't help, i cant stay

I can't grant, but i can pray

I've did all that you told me to

Now it's my call that i'm giving up on you."

(Chorus End)

I remember as kids

We always had glitter on our lips

Pick up sticks in the yard and play like were fighting in the mist

People stared, we didn't care, It's like we weren't aware of it.

But that's the opposite for father, he'd see it as a bother. He was scared of it

It's pitiful, You know you've failed as a daddy when what people think

Is more important then what makes your kids happy.

But this song is about you, his karma will come later

If i could go back in time like i am in this rhyme

-I wouldn't of the said stuff i said, i would of never lied.

And this isn't a lie, i miss you.

(Chorus)

I remember as children

You were there before Xavier ever happend

If i was stuck, you would be the one with my back.

And we have our pinky promises, never broken, honest.

It's amazing, It's awesome, It was there before all this drama

Real smiles on our only faces, Our time was never wasted

At the time the only scars we had were from terrible accidents.

At the time, the deepest voice we had was from faked british accents.

But the past is never gone, is you remove my current face.

You'll see the smile you made when we both just 6 to 8

But i miss you.

(Chorus)

And here we are now

I'm Broken, heart to toe

Daddy splitting up with mommy every weekend, I'd hear the episodes

And today, i'm just stuck in this room, squeezing words out of my heart like orange juice

I don't care if i'm not rhyming, I'd rather die than be perfect

I wouldn't settle for the worst but i wouldn't die to be worth it.

But i am certain, that the smile i had when i was 6, will now be nonexistent

Because now YOU are nonexistent, Let this song end, but Until i quit music, I ain't finished.

But it's just that...

(Chorus)

(Talking over the ending)

I'd hate to see you see what i am now...I'm sorry joey, You may not be in this world anymore, but..you'll always be in my heart, in mommas heart, by the way, momma is doing fine, she loves you.

Farewell, old brother.

This is a really wonderful piece! It's really poignant and moving. You definitely have a talent for song writing. I really like these two lines "At the time the only scars we had were from terrible accidents.
At the time, the deepest voice we had was from faked British accents."

Be interested to hear this hon...powerfully potent and emotional, reflective and articulated in an astringent manner...great lyrics...powerful xo
