Colorfinger - 13 Years lyrics

rate me

I woke up sweating in the sun<br />

Sprawled across my big brothers grave<br />

Shaking with drunk and sleep<br />

I crawled to my feet, walked up into the shade<br />

Of an young elm tree,<br />

Must have been planted since the last we came<br />

Vicki, My mom and me <br />

Cleaned the dirt from the plaque that said his name<br />

Walking to my girlfriends car<br />

It came back down on me<br />

Yeah<br />

I guess i fell to my knees<br />

To keep from falling face first into the dream<br />

A vision that it had<br />

Twisting out of the after afternoon sky<br />

I didn't know it then<br />

But it was 13 years to the day he died<br />

He held his hand in me<br />

Like brothers we walk (we walked)<br />

To the colorless of the world of a alcohol dream<br />

I'd talked for hours<br />

Trying to break through the silence that he held to me<br />

Then he started away, turned his head, Keep it up so you can die like me<br />

Yeah so you can die like me<br />

Ever since my brother OD'd <br />

I drifted all over from town to town to town<br />

Every place i go It's always the same<br />

I keep doing junk i keep going down<br />

Yeah, my mother got religion<br />

My sisters gave up<br />

Man, I just gave up too<br />

I just died inside<br />

Don't want to die like George<br />

Don't want to die like George<br />

Everybody says there's things to see<br />

Everybody's pointing their finger at me<br />

I woke up driving after another black out<br />

From another bad drug<br />

I can't shake this hell that i made for myself<br />

And every other life i took<br />

I see my sisters son walk the ground I walked<br />

He's only 16<br />

If he don't learn from my mistakes<br />

He's going to waste away<br />

Going to die like me<br />

He's going to die like me<br />

He's going to die like me
