Another one bites the dust, bye guys

People say when your numbers up, it's up
i thought i'd be the first one to crackup
in the space of 2 weeks thats 2 friends gone
from the 12th floor window jumped my good friend John
and while trying to come to terms with news that hit me like a ton
more bad news, the overdose of another friend Alan
it makes me wonder why i am still here
and in my head it will never be clear
ive diced with death and danced with the devil
ive played Mr Hyde and ive been doctor Jekyll
more experienced than a doctor sticking steel in my arm
escapism is the only thing that brings me some calm
so why am i still here and the good ones are gone ?
One thing im pretty sure of is that i wont be long
i will see you both again one day my good mates
just hard to come to terms as so close were the dates
many times each day i ask myself why
but each time i think i then start to cry
you will have to wait till im there to again do chasers
but without a second thought guys, i really would swap places.

R.I.P Guys
