Don’t let those demons shame you 
I hope that hope hope can save you 
fuck that god we used to pray to 
he left the world to slay you 
I know the pain it changed you 
It fucking changed me too 
lots of death and anger 
to hastily graze through 
the memories strain it’s pretty painful 
sitting with selfish hatred in plain view 
life expecting you to play through 
estranged moves, life it caged you 
stay tuned, at least the art stayed true 
you changed to a ghost from different angles 
shadows drowning, found in addition 
admission, lonely minutes 
plus wars of attrition 
fighting friction inside the sickness 
I’ve tried to be there from a distance 
returning the support system 
like you did for me when I had the same visions 
the clock is ticking, now you’re playing chicken 
putting out fires in Hell’s Kitchen 
my heart is liquid 
hoping to get a call or message 
so we find the leverage to get reconnected 
I miss your love and friendship 
wishing I could share my successes 
emerging from the trenches 
see you on the next bender 
always remember, no matter what 
I’ll love you forever 

this is for my brother 
walking through the dark days 
this is for my brother 
fighting through the the dark ways 
this is for my brother 
fighting through the hard days 
this is for my brother 
walking through the hard ways 
this is for my brother
