Текст песни D.E.M.O. - Chapter 3. Staind-something to remind you (feat. Aaron Lewis)

So this is it... I say Goodbye
To this chapter of my ever changing life
And there's mistakes... The path is long
And Im sure I'll answer for them when I'm gone, when I'm gone

Man I remember like it was yesterday
Living in the streets with no place to stay
20 years old shoulda seen my face
Walking around with a single suitcase
Fighting with my girl man I had to up and leave
I would've fucking killed her I had to find peace
Found myself just surrounded by the darkness
Lying on the ground steady grabbing where my heart is

But I had to bounce back
Looking at the sky only thing I seen was black
21 years old I was always on the go
Call me a free a spirit better yet a lost soul
I finally had enough underneath that street light
Vision getting blurry it was hard to see what's right
It was a dark stormy night when my brother took his life
In a room full of people who all had him in their sight. Man
They could have stopped him but they didn't give a damn
They was too occupied with the dope up in their hand
Stupid fucking leaches tried to hurry up and scram
And they Left him laying there taking everything he had
One year later I was fighting in Alabama
When I got a phone call from my ex baby mama
Yo She told me that I need to call my family
something happened to my sister I guess another tragedy
She was 19 years old I was brought down to my knees
murdered in cold blood by a boyfriend who wouldn't leave
I felt her say goodbye when her spirit tried to leave
It was a force so real that it pulled me out my sleep
Another tuff loss by the time I'm 23
My kids moved to Cali I didn't know that that would be
That last fuckin time that I would ever get to see
Their pretty little faces looking back up at me

So this is it... I say Goodbye
To this chapter of my ever changing life
And there's mistakes... The path is long
And Im sure I'll answer for them when I'm gone, when I'm gone

By 24 it was it all down hill
On a downward spiral that's when I started with the pills
getting drunk smoking weed then I started on the coccaine
Trying to find something that could numb my inner pain
Everydays a party but I was never satisfied
Trying to fill the void that was on my inside
Guns meth and heroin my life was filled with it
Everyday that passed by I died just a little bit

It was by that time that I tried my fate
Out there committing crimes Tryna find a plate
Got involved with some killers that would grind till late
They were not fucking type that really like to wait
So I had to run around with a mask on my face
With the gloves on my hands on so I didn't catch a case
But I did plenty dirt so I really can't complain
Got set up in the room by a man I won't name.
But I'm thankful for that man
Because my life was in the trash can
What happened next you can imagine
I Took some time to re examine
I was heading down a dead end
And even though I went to prison
I really should have been a dead man
But In That time I was given
My family back I could forgive them
For all the years that they were missing Now listen
I was 30 years old and you're coming back in my life
Give me a couple gifts like everything's gon be alright
When you're living with a stranger and all you do is fight
But deep inside your heart you just wanna do what's right
Now I'm 34 and I barely know my brothers
And to my sister ellie I just hope she knows I love her
I was brought into her life out of nowhere by her mother
And I'm sorry for all the years that you needed your brother.

So this is it... I say Goodbye
To this chapter of my ever changing life
And there's mistakes... The path was long
And Im sure I'll answer for them when I'm gone, when I'm gone
