I recall the taste of tears streaming from my eyes
Sitting in your basement as my heart would empathize
Now the tide has turned and I am causing you to feel
All the things inside of me I'm trying to conceal

Thick as skin, a wound is bleeding, pouring from the core
Everything we had could soon be gone forevermore
I don't care if you don't care, a lie I'll soon believe
Once again the time has come for you and I to grieve

Dangling on a thread in front of my face
Holding hostage what I can't replace
Slip away into the infected crowd
You defected, disavowed
Buried in a linen shroud

I recall the happy times, and how we used to laugh
All the things we could have done have now been cut in half
It takes me back to how I felt that night and how I cried
When suddenly it dawned on me that your father died

Pain you've felt beyond your years, more than you deserve
It makes me think that what we had I never could preserve
A hurricane about my head keeps sucking you back in
So now you have to flee before the ice becomes too thin

Dangling on a thread ahead of my path
This is what I get in the broken aftermath
I took my life into my shaking hands
And lost the future full of plans
Excommunicated from the clan

I tried and failed to right a wrong
So now I'm writing you a song
To tell you that I understand
Just why you're breaking up the band
Go on and find a better friend
Like Jim would say, "This is the end"
The ride was wild, what a trip
I thank you for your fellowship
