Little Brother

How long did you think you would last

Going from friend to friend so fast

Only calling when you needed a ride

Or to escape from your own confined mind

Remember when you were still my friend

And for a quick fix, you let it end

I miss the talks we used to share

Obviously, our memories, you could spare

But so desperately, you loved the lies

And wouldn't escape the hallucinating highs

People were the ultimate expense

No one had time for a proper defense

It started with cigarettes and graduated to ****

In no time at all, you were popping ecstasy

You wouldn't listen to our debate

You'd long ago decided your fate

So here it is, my final word

I'm done with you, set free the bird

There is nothing left for you to hear

Goodbye, little brother, unwise beyond your years
