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
