He was anxiously awaiting
The arrival of his fate
After countless nights debating
It seemed like nothing ever changed
In accordance with his peers, he gets by with acting fake
After endless days of trying, his knees buckle from the weight

I say, "why, oh why, my brother, must you live your life this way?
I've done all I can to help, but you kept lying to my face"
The man then screams to God, he says "is my life just a game?
And if that's the case then what if I decide I'm not to play?"

I'll plan my escape
From the treacherous hands of fate
And make way
To the realm where all my memories will fade

He took his life that night
It's a shame, what a shame, what a shame
It all ended here with a knife
In the living room where their father once sat, where he told them

"Your dreams are all you have
It may seem like nothing matters, but you must keep a level head
Just keep chasing and chasing
'Til your heels are bloody red
And I promise you my sons, it's worth it all in the end"

Why couldn't he listen?
Why didn't he remember?
I didn't listen
And I'll always remember
I took a life that night
I'm to blame, I'm to blame, I'm to blame
He didn't listen
And I'll always remember
