I’d been saving up for a better life what i had wasn’t cutting it so i found a new town to call my home and when i settled in and found my place i regretted some of it- the friends and the family i left behind lessons learned- they come with time i’m feeling like a pile of shit today second chances came and went i’m struggling thinking i probably had the time what kind of a dick am i avoiding it? it’s all i have to stop, and focus on the task at hand

Chin up son, it's going to be okay Tread water, look out, help is on the way We’ve all been there and so we’re here for you It’s a matter of time then hours chisel down to moments and moments are forgot It may seem like a shitty consolation prize- but it’s all that i can promise You stared in one direction, eyes glazed over and fighting tears, after everything he’s done, you’d do anything to have him back No need to keep appearances up It's okay to let your guard down You've already heard the rest It's hard its hard its hard it's hard to overcome When you're feeling at your worst Reach out for anyone near Open yourself up you know, I know It's hard to overcome. Right now I’m searching for something to say anything i can think of to make it go away but my mind is drawing a blank Though the words aren’t flowing freely I don’t think words are what you need i got a shoulder to cry on, ears to listen, and a bottle of wine to drink We’ve all been there that's why we’re here for you

It’s like a scene right out of a movie you never thought you’d have a part in I said “I want to see but there’s no way through all of those trees” Two minutes later that forest didn’t exist we looked out staring in disbelief what we witnessed seemed like a dream the next few days I regained my faith in the seemingly self loathing human race as community became reality As I I close my eyes all I see are the smiling faces and I know what they’re thinking about Yesterday was a normal day, today was terrible But at least we’ve still got tomorrow I got the saddest news that i had ever heard and I though I took it hard I was far from the worst I think it’s better that he went on before us so we gain perspective on what we’ve done some say too young and that’s just fine since I can remember I’ve heard this life is always taken for granted by all but the best of men this town will never be the same again Yesterday was an awful day, today we're feeling good. because at least we’ve still got each other.

I feel the pain, i hear the ringing when was the rug pulled out from under me? it sucks, to know, i’ll never, be the man I used to I’m getting too old for this shit Two fucking minutes and it’s time to quit I’d rather sit this next one out It’s about time we slow things down You love the cliches, I love the white noise At least it helps me sleep at night i’m not, gonna care, much about, the world like I used to

I got the call about 5 on a wednesday afternoon We saw it coming but we didn’t see it that soon They say he’s in a better place and I’m inclined to agree knowing he's not here right now- that's what bothers me I’ll always keep your fire burning through the wind and the rain never forgotten, you’ll hold a place in all our hearts you knew how to light up the world. you taught me how to love and you taught me how to smile for that I’m forever grateful. I thought I was invincible, it’d been so long since I cried. But nothing can prepare you for how fragile life is be thankful for every day you get to spend with the ones you love and then at night you can pour one out for those that have gone on i’ve never been good at goodbyes, I'm much better at walking away if i had another chance I’d say, “you’re gone but not forgotten” you’re gone but not forgotten you’ve given us so much just know that you are loved
