A Small Butchers Into A Life

As I sit here and listen to the butcher's hook And I wonder how much pain it must have took The follow through with actions once I contemplated Whether by accident, staged or you was baited I sit here and and wish I had the chance to meet you How many times someone could of interjected, who knew How many paths could of intertwined, who knew You could have ended up at my building that Scared, lost and alone, thinking that You're just one and this stopped being fun and you broke And I'd sit down with you, put my arm around you And been an oak tree you could lean against You could rile against, fight back against, push back against And it'll still be standing, each branch handing you a new option Maybe change your course direction But I never did meet you, you was always too far away from me I couldn't understand you, and you're music didn't have time to reach me To teach me about you, and now you're gone, but not forgotten But you are gone, and I'm thankful for who you were Said everything in song, but blinded by the curtain Makes me wonder about my dream The one that you seem to have gotten Is it a curse or is it worse, but to immerse Into this ideology, that's there's no reality, stuck in this unknown brand of psychology, it's all inflammatory, we get drawn into this mythology of pathology of inane insane derogatory terminology That's seen as a positively benign brand of sociology and then you can't take any more of me and we just want it to stop If I reached out my hand Would you take it (would you take it) Forever your British bulldog Would you accept it (would you accept it) If I stood by you Would you stand by me (would you stand by me) I thought time would tell But it's already too late to see (it's already too late for me) I think of my childhood and all those friends that were made All those days thinking of when we've grown old and gray I'm not one to sit here and complain about the end Sometimes it's hard to work out who's fiend or friend All those times we spent laughing under the sun But we parted ways when it stopped being fun I often wonder back to see those faces again I often wonder back and wonder if those faces ever wondered of me again I can remember names but not faces, it's such a shame I can remember faces but not names, it's not the same I can remember not wanting to remember, that make me insane I can remember not wanting the pain Left standing cold out in the rain Sick and tired of being left alone again Surrounded by those calling me friend again Just so I could convince myself that I wasn't to be left alone again And I sit back and wonder, is that how you felt And that just leaves me with this questionable guilt I'm sorry, I never got the chance to get to know you But how things may have changed It couldn't be true Than that we don't even know if I could have helped Or may have the lifestyle taken another scalp But life is beautiful, I agree life is beautiful But it's full of awful things, including 16 lines on a ring I know I can never sing but maybe I could have backed you up and climbed on the wing of an aero plane and giveaway bling just to rinse away the gold-diggers and bring in the real fans that sounds like a fun plan, don't you agree So much we could have done if only I could have reached out before you moped out And this is just how I get ideas and mope about and it's no fun But the whole world misses you, but your legacy is not done If I reached out my hand Would you take it (would you take it) Forever your British bulldog Would you accept it (would you accept it) If I stood by you Would you stand by me (would you stand by me) I thought time would tell But it's already too late to see (it's already too late for me) It's a long road tonight The darkness has blinded the light I've lost my way home Please don't leave me alone On another long road tonight The darkness has blinded the light I've lost my way home And I don't want to be alone Alone tonight If I reached out my hand Would you take it (would you take it) Forever your British bulldog Would you accept it (would you accept it) If I stood by you Would you stand by me (would you stand by me) I thought time would tell But it's already too late to see (it's already too late for me)
