These are words you said you never wanted to say
Now Wood Would? Would he pity you?
You showed us the sun turn black and you broke from the rusty cage,
Now you're giving the Jesus Christ Pose.
You took the needle to heart- as in right to the vein.
You, Cobain, Staley, Wood, Weiland...all went the same.

Your voice bounces off the walls, star gazer follows suits.
Followed in the footsteps of dead young men too talented to explain.
Drugs and self expression mixed together with fame,
Tragic life end, it's all the same.

We say hello to heaven,
traveling on that interstate while our favorite love song plays.

And all the words left behind, more left unsaid.
The pain of your loved ones and ones you left behind cuts deep and runs long.

Was it worth it?
Could you not break the bonds that held you?
Was chasing the dragon too strong?

Still waters run deep on the river of deceit.
Mad Season like a flu, it ran through us wild
and now you this wilting garden has got me reeling.

If I have a daughter her name is Chloe.
And I'll wear the crown of thrones for her.

So you came as you were, you showed up and lights out!
You were entertainers who entertained.

Burned fast and hot, died too young, same tragic story.
