it really irks me
that i've gone through my life without the proper
authority
to know

they abandoned you
you left all alone
i know the zone.

then you
disappeared
the time went by
for years and years
if it's not too late it won't last
how would i ever find enough gas
to drive there straightaway
and tell you that i ain't playing games.

if i had only known.
they never told me
it was as if it was all designed to keep me
without a home
without somebody that could atone
the lies slept through all the cracks
i'm sorry my thoughts didn't attack
it sooner
your life lesson would have been a real one-two-er
cause it would have punched him in the gut
maybe then we'd all have some luck
but your brother died
and in that memory even though you didn't know
it died
long before i began
what happened then only you can't paint the picture trim
there is a heart with your name on it
it never gave me luck but
i've thought about you
and now you're probably gone

what in hell has our family done?

Then again you ran and run
and didn't look back
what kind of life is that.

the missing piece out of the puzzle
forever affirmed with a muzzle

fuck. i just want to talk to you.
