My words were pretty cold but your eyes are straight frigid
We had all that we needed but now that don’t mean a thing
Life lost, those wide eyes unblinking
Prices was paid, nothing is free
This place is amazing, excess for the taking
Whole boxcars of blow
Let’s get set I’m ready to go
I’m ready to go
Now brother I love you, but listen to my view
That nothing is free
Your fortune is going to haunt me
It is haunting me
It’s been seventeen long years
We share a face, but it’s a thin veneer
His silenced soul, the silence is singing in our soul
His silenced soul, the silence is singing in our soul
We were intertwined like two parts of a vine
Tied together like a tether swore we’d never divide
Vile men with thought and a grin
Ended your life too early, now I’m lonely again
No excuse, I got no defense
Nothing can atone for my hand in this dissidence
They put a price on my head, and found my likeness instead
I said “You folded too early”, you said “My heart was all in”
My words were pretty cold but your eyes are straight frigid
We had all that we needed but now that don’t mean a thing
Your Good Book says that you brought Lazarus back from dead
But my brother lays cold
What about him?
