Exordium Clause

You’re about to witness his will and last testament You’re banging on the floor till your energy is spent You’re thinking about his smile and just how much it meant With him it felt like home, but he’s stopped paying rent Pacing Back and forth just looking for a reason The universe is punishing you for high treason And you miss him, And you wish you had listened Finding another like him is an impossible mission What could you have done, what could you have done Like his own Chuck E Cheese, you made his life fun You told him baby please, when he held up the gun Forced him to put it down, watched him till the morning sun And now to your left his dad is mourning his son Picking up the pieces of the puzzle he had just begun Death shoots a bullet straight into your thumping heart I guess the promise was until death do us part *Chorus* Are.... You... Are you one of them. x2 *Chorus* I guess she’s been your mother for Sixty Five years Cause you’re brother’s next to you fighting back through the tears She’s lying on the bed, under too many tubes to see ya Last time you saw her on a bed was in Ikea But this time is different, When you hit the ignition The way to the hospital was a pond, for sentiments you were fishing But you couldn’t find a single one Only when her life is over, will yours have begun Right in front your cousins are losing their aunt And to them you’re weirdly calm and nonchalant You can’t explain to them how you just don’t feel their pain You can’t explain to you how you’re not ashamed Blank slate like your page on wikipedia She screaming bloody hell, cause she’s got leukemia But you don’t feel a thing, no not at all Just like rome every person is destined to fall *Chorus* Time heals all wounds, but some are really deep Kind that keep your eyes open, when you tryin to sleep Life’s a dilemma, as you sit back counting sheep Thoughts like a goblin, back into your mind they creep October 27th two thousand fourteen A young man lost his life who before was never seen Seat all in the back, ran middle of the track Never excelled, but then again, nothing he lacked Mediocre day, biking to class kinda late Next thing he knew on the blacktop he laid Turns out a truck took up too much the pavement Cause I guess they didn’t know just how much life meant Mother’s screaming his name, Father’s going insane Brother growing up alone, with nobody to blame All lives have meaning, impact, and worth It’s up to you to decide how much losing one hurts
