Remnants of a Legend
Another sleepless night, with the broken street light
Sleepless on the floor, nothing but cold sores
I now realize my wrong from my right, after all this time
I should’ve been there for you, but I never stayed true
You were just a young lad, you wouldn’t understand
The screams, the fights, bad dreams, and sad nights
I would go drink with the devil, back then
Offering me her poison every time I would spend
Wife didn’t know, she didn’t need to
Until I came home one day with the devil by my side and Venom in my breath
She came home early that day, and the peace faded away
I admit it was my fault, and my commitment was put to a halt
It was then when I met Crystal and Blanca
I met them both one night, and they gave me
The time of my life
My head would spin, colours will drift
Disoriented and influenced till the sun ended
They were more than friends, I depended on them
But I wasn’t their only guy, they’ll be passed among others as well
They soon became an addiction, and my reaction grew to anxious
But they soon betrayed me, and my affection for them
The two left me penniless, and the man I am today
But I do miss the cakes
The cakes I used to bake
For my little girl that was just eight
But ever since I took my first drink
It all ended for me
As long as you live on your dreams
Just don’t forget about me
Now that I feel redeemed
Guess it’s all over for me
I’ve been planning a week
to dream endlessly
As I’m sitting down the street with the heater
beside my feet
I bring it to my head
And you know what’s next
