about

Written about the suicide of a family friend, how it affected my father, and how death comes for us all.

lyrics

Your brother died on the day that mine was born.
You'll know mine better than you'll ever know yours.
My father raged though we all knew he was sad.
What's funny now is that I'm exactly dad.
Guns out in the park,
Take your aim and don't miss your mark,
Devastate everyone,
Take your aim and shoot out the sun.

I'm on a journey and I know there's no turning back.
I wonder how long till I get to see dad,

Facedown on my desk,
Death points and says "you're next."
Obliterate everything,
Death points and then starts to sing

Guns out in the park,
Take your aim and don't miss your mark,
Obliterate everything,
Death points and then starts to sting
