MATT & ME


Long ago and far away
Deep inside my memory
Came the truth from which I fled
Torture in my heart, terror in my head 
I used do think about it everyday
Now the memory fades 
Of your repugnant legacy
Forced upon my brother and me

I turned away not to face it
Drank myself to sleep to erase it
My days were anger my nights were shame
Addiction clawing at my veins
The innocence stolen from us two
We died a thousand times thinking of you
When others were accepted I stood alone
My eyes became two frozen stones

 Who felt the pain youŽve never seen?
 Who were the adults before they were teens?
 What cause nightmares instead of dreams?
 What about Matt and Me?

When youŽre walking home at night
Fear the shadows stay in the light
Haunted by deeds you left behind
Close your eyes but the truth still shines 
I could scream and I could rant
I could crush you like an ant
But IŽll watch life grind you down
Die of guilt dirty old man
