Brother dear brother
What are you doing with your life?
Don’t throw it away like it’s a piece of unwanted trash
For we only get one life dear brother
Don’t go down that same dark path I went down
In this path your life can be gone in a flash
This path will smash your beliefs
It will crush anyone who cares about you
And it will mash everything up that YOU care about
We need to get you out of that town
You have to many leaches attached to you
Leaches that just won’t let go
Leaches that will use you for everything you got
They will use you and use you until you have nothing left
To your face they say they care and will be there,
But turn your back and their words of resentment
Come dashing at you like an owl hunting its prey
You see at first, they just want you to do pot
Then they pressure you into other drugs
Drugs you knew you never wanted to get into
But because they were your “buds” you took the drugs
You started to follow the dark path
The one I hopped you would never see,
The one that can take your life without any regrets,
And send it into a downward spiral of shit,
It’s the one that will take all your biggest assets,
And destroy them one by one slowly,
And you can do nothing but watch
You can do nothing but stand idly by and
Let life beat you brutally down to your knees,
Life will beat you until you wheeze,
Life hits harder than anyone you or I know
Life will not let you appease
Because life just wants you to fight and struggle
You will try go back to your old life before the drugs
And you will try to smuggle, back what you can
You will try smuggle back any good memories you have left,
The ones you can remember smiling through
The ones that make you feel not so depressed
You do this in the hopes it will infest
All your bad memories and flush them out,
You do this, so it will be rid
Of all those bad memories
Brother dear brother I don’t want you to become a memory,
You become one with every day you do all those drugs
To quit them will show loads of bravery,
But to continue will show
Just how cowardly you are
Brother dear brother
Your life is headed to homelessness
Because I know you can’t handle your money,
I know you will spend every coin you can
I know you will spend everything you can,
I know you will run yourself broke
Brother don’t think that your cover used to work
Because brother I knew from the start,
I knew because you started to act like a jerk,
I knew from the start because you can’t contort
Anything from me, for brother we have been
Together since the day mother
Brought me home to you and Pat
