about

for Alex.

lyrics

dead; a friend I never got to meet
shell-shocked from the apathy
of the fiber-optic family
I'm drinking to a stupor and going to sleep
when you say you're through with sorrow
well it's never through with you
and each night you can sleep on through tomorrow
til you wake up and life has choked you blue

straw men engulfed by your flames
a malaise with a smile that could shoot for miles
kicked back, in that laziness you earned but never wanted
you had everything figured out before we even started
there were those of us who waved it off, but us isn't me,
or her, or him and they aren't you
on the wings of a whim; you fell when you flew
but we love you, and so many do
but we'll never know you now
stay gold, brother

You get Radio Wire Empire." - Tramps Upstairs
