To swim the sea
The house was small, nothing new about that. We had space we had to share but we didn't care too much about it. It was life as we knew, just my two brothers and I. Rambunctious and wild as we ran out under the sky.
Then came the surprise; we were getting a guy. Our new baby brother was coming into our lives, and we couldn't wait. Will and I weren't mad. Chester and I were glad. Our brand new best friend who'd be with us 'til the end. We taught him all of our tricks and brought him into our mix. The four of us against it all. We knew our life would be grand before we even thought of the band. Inseparable fiends without fear or a cause. But until we knew we figured we'd try anything new. Something that stuck and would keep for all time.
And you can try
To hold the breeze
The stars were out in force, so we set a course to sneak out to the fields to watch the night sky. Mom couldn't know. Past dad, we had to go slow. In the end we made it out and sat around in the snow. It was the perfect scene with the night sky so clear and keen. We laid around for a while and could only stare in awe. We traded tales for a while, 'til we heard mom calling from miles and we knew it would be trouble so we simply ran.
We arrived at the door. Mom looked down with scorn and guilt flowed through our minds. I tried taking the blame, but they wouldn't allow the shame. We all fought to confess until mom silenced us all. As she began to smile we could breathe easy for a while. She let us off with a warning to ask her next time. But as we laid back in bed, the stars were still in our heads. The experience profound that we'd never forget.

Through skin and bone
She was my love. She was my life. You ever find that one person that makes everything right?
We met at a party; one I didn't want to go to yet went anyways. But when I look back I'm not sure if that was good or bad to do. We sat on the couch and she laughed at my jokes while I laughed at hers back. It felt like something special. Something shared that hadn't been before. I thought it might've been love but I didn't say anything yet. We started slow and built it up until thing would feel right. Two years of my life went, and I thought they were well spent. Eventually I got up the courage to ask her a question.
But when I went to ask, I found it'd been a mask. She'd played me for a fool; like some flimsy tool she could use when she pleased. Words were thrown without care and I threw him down the stairs. He ended up fine while I found I'd been blind, but nonetheless I just turned and walked away. Now she's out of my life along with lots of my pain. It really was for the best that I caught them before it was too late.
But you will end up
All alone
But while I was glad, I felt equal parts sad. Never thought that things would turn out that way and it would end like this. Although I felt betrayed I knew I still had a place with my brothers on the road to seek out our fame. Even without the girl, with family I had the world. I found joy and laughter everywhere I went, that's for sure. While it still does sting, there's much less suffering. I can move on with my life and not look back and drown in it.
So I keep going on, and I keep going strong. Although it takes time even wounds like these heal.♦ THE PLAYER ♦
