In 2008, your aged veins showed through
Your life is all I’ve ever wanted.
Do you mind if I pretend I’m you?
Do you mind if I look on your life from my world of shit?
It’s so hard for my heart to beat when this blood is clean,
But I am looking at you,
And looking at you makes me feel a little less broken.
We both lost the same things and cheated at the same game.
I am not the model son; I just kept my blood clean.`
I spent the early days with hopes to be like you,
But today you told me your kid brother is the man you want to be.
And, even though your black clad skin is full of holes
And your eyes are sunk in beyond repair,
The day you stop trying, I’ll have to give up too.
Because the wheel spins around in the game of true brotherly love.
