Too Young to Die

think of all the days as kids
running round to play again
times i said i won’t forget
sometimes i think i did

drug induced lonely nights
numb inside i’m cold as ice
i catch myself asking why
cause 34’s too young to die

caught up slipping
is this life worth living
cause i’m sick as fuck
of the cards i’m giving

at 24
how many friends gotta die
before god puts some peace in my life

not feeling alright
escape from the pain in my brain
to find out it’s all in vain

i’m a lame
in this game of life it’s not right
but who am I to complain
i should feel fine

I never thought you would leave so soon
when the dust settled I was caught staring at the moon
when the phone call came it couldn’t be you
I didn’t know but it couldn’t be true

I didn’t know you would leave so quick
i was alright then now i feel so sick

could i take back time?
give more help with your life?
instead of me focusing on mine

i’ve seen more than a few friends die slow

and I can see their smile with my eyes closed

and I can hear you say that we’re in this together

I can feel the pain when i think of september

and I can see your face in that casket whenever

my big bro our memories i’ll cherish forever

I miss you my brother

stay the course

don’t stray off path

cause once lifes gone

we’ll never get it back

so play this track

but when it’s over

go hug you’re family

and please stay sober

i pray for your happiness and health

and always remember to love yourself

don’t take time for granted

don’t lie or damage

the ones you love

you gotta stand up
