You were warned, now it's too late
This is going to be the families fate
She is here
He is no where to be found
This is her biggest fear
He doesn't want to be duty bound
This family is falling apart
They said this would be the downfall
Take these words to heart
There is no light at the end of this hall
The father is never there
The mother hasn't seen him for days
The son doesn't care
The daughter wants to die but knows no ways
I don't care if my words are blunt
You have got to learn
Will you get up and hunt?
Or just sit there and burn?
He roams the streets at night
He is not scared
When he goes home, she gets a fright
Just his face was spared
Now he is laying on a hospital bed
She thinks it is better this way
He would rather be dead
But she is forcing him to stay
She thinks she is smart
But it is her he has started to despise
She doesn't notice that he will soon depart
He will find some other way to meet his demise
Discord spreads like a cancer
But she doesn't believe him
He would like nothing more than to hurt her
But he doesn't have the balls to
He is looking for a sign
Just then, he finds his fathers gun
He drinks a bottle of wine
He knows what must be done
He prepares himself
Loads the gun
Puts it to his head
Pulls the trigger
All that suffering ended in a heartbeat
Now he is dead
There is no bringing him back
Why do people have to die before you change?
Another innocent life has been ended
Is family union just too far for change?
Has your family still not mended?
There is a crisis in your family
When you treat your brother like he is the enemy
