Good Luck

Children running down the street in uniforms

Laughing in the rain they were heading towards

And they were yelling about something

They were singing and clinging from the light

Tender men on attendance just like them

We'll forget about the rest

They were searching for sunlight

They were searching for gold

So why catch a fever from the inside?

Dig my hand into my pocket

Open up my wallet

Such a strange gesture to make in this town

Sure aint gold but it gets me around

Can I grab a twenty from the inside?

Can't you just smell it?

Now spend it wisely

He looks up at me then back at the ground.

I just wish he would f**kin'turn right around

Now, I have talked to myself late at night

Oh I tried to connect with the ghost who was

My best friend

My brother

My accomplice

Another writer my best man

And sometimes, I feel so forgiven at night

I just put down my shades but I open my ways for the battle that just leads me

I hear ben tell me

"brother your problems all started in the summer of '98

In Northern New Jersey later in the day

I was thinking about a distance and unaccepting fate

I was fourteen years old but what else can I say?

Even then I knew time was gonna catch me

Imagine going to a private school in the summer of '02

My first true love left me and I didn't know what to do

I moved into New York and I thought I found the truth

A plain glass full of patties and pills we shouldn't chew

Well I swore that the drugs were gonna kill me

I was wrong I was wrong I was ready for. Dont try to blame me

because she was wrong

Didn't know she was unaffected

Heard all I wanted throuh a needle

I knew that the drugs were gonna kill her

Fast forward to the fall of '05

I met the girl of my dreams and she helped me to survive

Then she left my life at a complicated time

And in March of '06 I attempted suicide

Well, I know that sudifant can't kill me

Well maybe what I'll do

Ya, I'll apologize

Sorry mom and dad I never meant to make you cry

Thanks to all my friends you're the reason I'm alive

Wonder how I'm living in this rip we call time.

Well, it will take more than bad luck just to kill me

Lins and things and birds and sounds

I've got ten years of words buried in the ground

They're being reassembled by the ghost of Benny Brown

He's attempting the screenplay even still now

And he better cast someone cool like Johnny Depp to play me

Child took my twenty and he looked me in the eyes

He said "Thanks for the gold" and continued walking by

I could see him proudly show his friends it made me want to cry

'Cuz all I could do was think of my own life lucky guy

Thank you all for everything

I miss you all

Good Night.
