So go ahead and blame me
But I didn’t pull the trigger
I never said to go,
All I ever did was
Tell you the fucking truth
And if that was too much
Then all you really needed
Was the will to see the path
And the strength to admit
Your weakness and
Need for a helping hand…
And the burden
You brought to everyone
That actually gave a damn
Will fade with time
But the memory of
All You
Ever Were will
Forever remain as a story
A lesson so history won’t
Fucking repeat itself
And as I share this Wealth
Of Knowledge and Pain
To all who will listen
So another number
Will not be added
To this non-sensical
List of death…
And maybe all I did
Was try and find a reason
Behind all the guilt and blame
But even after putting
Myself in his shoes
I could not find the right excuse
To give so little meaning
So little worth to a human life
To just thrown out the door
Cuz even when you measure self worth
No one’s approval should weight
More than all your own…
And even then,
As we write the reason, the blame
As we point the finger
At the one who should
Answer for his death,
The wheel spins
But as it comes to a stop
It is only pointing
At the man who pulled
The trigger cuz he decided
His life had no self worth…
So I sit there thinking
Maybe I should have spoken
Or have said something
But you can’t play GOD
Or pretend to know
How the story’s gonna end,
All you CAN DO is sit there
And feel the pain,
Remember the good times,
And appreciate
What you can see and smell,
Cuz life was meant for the living
And as long as you have the will
The sunshine will be there…
So look forward,
Don’t forget all that’s behind
And as you keep looking
At what’s right in front
Remember the words
That were written
The things that were said
But only take to heart
That which you can use
To help on the road ahead
And not destroy
All that is just part of the past
Part of the dust,
Which is all that remained
And all that he left behind… |
