about

From "Songs for Ben - EP" (2015)

A song about Ben

lyrics

You’re only twenty three and you can’t believe
That you’re alive and breathing
You say without a doubt that time is running out
You only have a couple more years
The doctor told me I have a heart disease
I won’t make it to forty
It’s all those years of drugs, blackened is my blood
I gave up my future a long time ago

You always fall in love with everyone you meet
You try to hold on but they always leave
You play your music loud to drown the world out
When you’re drunk you tell me this one thing:
“By whatever grace of God that I beat the odds
I still can’t fix what I destroyed
I need to tell you this, I want to confess
I need to get this off my chest…”

You said, “I want to be a father to a son or a daughter
Even just for a while, as long as I can

And I want to raise them to be better than I am
I hope that I can see them when they graduate

But if I go under, I hope that their mother
Tells them I loved them more than life itself

Leave them all my money, so they can get a degree
I want nothing else but for them to be happy

And I'm sure they’ll hear the stories of my past and they’ll see
It’s not hard to be…

Better than me…
