First Verse
First one i had known
First name was a h#mophone
You didn’t seem to get cold
Although knees exposed
Last name like mine though
Granddad the one yours bulldozed
Ancestors, the slaves yours owned
Anyway, we grew close
Weekends and seasons
Time spent on makeshift goalposts
Or the new console
For which by your mom you’d beg
Banana bread
She made for my sake
So i never felt left out
While you ate bolognese
Can’t forgеt her face
Disappointment shе wore
When i said “I have to pray”
Be home ‘fore nightfall
She prayed i wouldn’t fall
As i ran amongst the cars
I’d pray the sun rise taller
Than the weekend before
Chorus
I knew you were Godless
I loved you regardless
My brother i’ll forever miss
Forever, I’ll reminisce
Instrumental break
Second verse
I remember that party we gatecrashed
Empty bottles and cigarette ash
We were too young for our thoughts
“f#ck it”, we were bored
The lack of invites we ignored
Seeking the lore of the school corridor
My wide eyes in disbelief
Widened, yours in awe
Girls objectified in dresses
By boys with bad intentions
Under the impression, you can
Just drown remorse
This was what my mom warned me ‘bout before
I was awkward on the sticky floor
Watching you join the crowd
The ones we used to scorn
The smell of alcohol making my head sore
Reminding me of God’s Law
Lied to my dad, ran back before he called
To pick me up
I left you there
I met you again, numb
You were less my friend
Found a new one in a cup
Outro
Now i’m less outside
About what was once
I write
