F(r)iends

Graveyard, behind the church

On a tree the crow is perched

Lounging on it's lowest branch

No great secret, no romance

I should leave this stupid town

Fearing that I'd see you around

And I would not know what to say

How you threw my trust away

In the dirt... Lies the body

In the basket... Fruit is rotting

From the grass cadaver rise

If this is life I'd rather die

Misery, emptiness

Straw and bottle kept me sick

What's left of me

A floating ghost

Not strong enough to safe us both

Friends

Take me by the hand

I will walk you through the darkness

I will make you understand

We were friends

Running endless through the night

Until you told me that I changed

Well I guess that you were right

Living in squalor was a hideous sight

Just chasing a dollar in the city at night

You wanted to wallow in the pity that's life to a liar

Swallowed in the ittiest bite

Following what the idiots like

And like an idiot, painted it the prettiest white

Insidious, was the grip that it held

Fell down from heaven, slipped into hell

I would never blame you for the curse

That I was given by my father

But to think that in your presence it

Wouldn't be exercised, why bother

And with the lump in your throat gone

Lies gave you something to choke on

The girl was not the issue

I won't miss her, I might miss you

Friends

Take me by the hand

I will walk you through the darkness

I will make you understand

We were friends

Running endless through the night

Until you told me that I changed

Well I guess that you were right

We were friends

Did we think that we were pure

We were friends since I remember

But we can't be anymore

We were friends

But we can't be anymore

We were friends

But we can't be anymore

Graveyard, behind the church

Carry us to the comfortable caress of the dirt

Despair everlasting under the gray skies

We leave friendship here so that it may die

Rain falls slow to the earth, and woe is me

Perhaps from it's burial place will grow a tree

Climbed by you and I, but 10 years younger

Waiting for the undertaker to take us under

What made us wonder

What made us crumble like bricks

Maybe we were afraid of thunder

Cross silhouette in the dusk of november

The boys make a pact to be friends forever

This is like never, "leaving us so soon?"

We feel the kinship die, leaving it's own wound

We thought that we could survive anything

But what does forever mean when you're 17

Friends

Take me by the hand

I will walk you through the darkness

I will make you understand

We were friends

Running endless through the night

Until you told me that I changed

Well I guess that you were right

We were friends

Did we think that we were pure

We were friends since I remember

But we can't be anymore

We were friends

But we can't be anymore

We were friends

But we can't be anymore
