- given up the fight, waiting for that white light
- to ignite the path to new heights
- family unites, to view their last sights
- spending one last night before a new life
- with courage and heart, and a head full of thoughts
- looking at an familiar body, being slowly torn apart
- stop the medication, increasing the sedation
- start the countdown, and make peace with the savior
- i couldn't imagine a twin losing a sibling
- in good spirits, not a hint of fear given
- still ribbing and cracking jokes
- an occasional tear dripping down the face of kinfolk
- waiting at the front door for the grim reap
- one last smile etched into the memory
- a longer hug for that last drop of love
- that final goodbye, that we all find tough
Teddy Faley:
- Don't get it twisted that's a friend of mine, You should of been sure, that was a friend of yours
- & We should have seen that coming from a thousand yards before
- We act like there aint nothing wrong, there's somethin wrong of course
- but there was 'normal', then there was you, and you was tryin to find the storm
- I know that feeling well, but never found it's source,
- until the day I heard that you had found yours
- Yours taught me it torched like a scorched sunrise on some never mind that's forced
- Just wanna gorge ourselves impure until we dull down every thorn
- I still bug on just how kind you was my brother
- Never smirked a smile behind nobody's back or found discouragements to mutter
- That's a wild god that built you just to break you
- To give your mom an angel just to watch him break your halo
- And that's why i ask the faithful why they pray to such a-hole
- and I read through our old texts and try to find a payphone
- I won't never write about you, this the last time that I do
- I ain't good enough at what I do to make it true
