Lay The Blame

Again- again left with this lesson that is not mine to learn

Tears regret and painful questions it smashes your spine

Steals all that time

And takes the eyes right out of your head

But we don't point a finger

Nobody says a word

But it rips us apart

That old man I looked up to

Passed out on the floor

That stupid crazy motherfucker

Taking all those lives

The one the love my mother

Poisoned from inside

What it did to me ripped us apart

And you how did it get to you

The smartest of us all

It knocked you down and beat you up

But neither you or it would ever let it go

And again I pay the price
