Death's counterfeit

I watched you walk as a dead man, pale skin
Blue lips, crystal balls behind your fucking eye lids
The color flushes from everything
But you keep that air pumping in and out unconsciously
Suspended by a string
I bet those blues keep you on your feet
Before the chair gives out…and I’m still sitting here calling you out
And I’m still calling you out
Cast yourself to the darkest corners of your own mind
Self-doubt consumes you like no other
And now I’m losing, losing you as a brother
I know you’re not afraid to die
I won’t be there to watch you go
I won’t be there to watch you go
And if you start to sink below….I won’t be there to watch you go
Every day you keep yourself from doing what you say
Maybe I should stay, maybe I should fucking stay
Keep your head down cause you just when to walk away
I’ve had enough and when you die I won’t be there to see the day
I’ll keep my head pointed at the sky
Lifted with affection that will not let you die
And if you start to sink below, just know…
I won’t be there to watch you go
I won’t be there to watch you go
And if you start to sink below, just know…
I won’t be there to watch you go
Cast yourself to the darkest corners of your own mind
Self-doubt consumes you like no other
And now I’m losing, losing you as a brother
