sunday night and you wouldn't believe the things they said about you.
would it stay the same?
if you had managed to stay?
old dogs die the same.
but bear swears you'd change.
that you'd change.
would you change, for me?
you'd given up on the better things.
you had started settling.
you'd given up on the better things.
you had started settling. fuck settling.
now I sit surrounded by the ones that you had loved.
lori's here, deb is here, kel is here, your mom is here.
they say that the angels of mercy have come.
but all I feel is coldness here.
all I fear has followed here.
you'd given up on the better things.
i can't tell you what that did to me.
and for what.
well, for what brian?
huh, well for what?
oh, for what?
a weeks worth of pay.
a drive to start a sober slate.
a woman, who could say,
"i love you i need you"
your blood fills my lungs.
you said you wanted to live.
well did you?
well did you?
i'll never forget -
shooting that gun in the dirt.
and the way that dove felt
as its body turned cold.
how do I tell my mother
that her brother is dead?
"tell them how you feel matt"
well, I feel like shit.
baby brother. little bother.
it was for something. or my life means nothing.
