Everclear - 13 Years Lyrics
Woke up sweating in the sunSprawled across my big brothers graveShaking and drunk with sleepI crawled to my feet and walked up into the shadeOf a young elm tree that must have been planted since the last we cameVicki, my mom, and me, cleaned the dirtFrom the plaque that says his nameWalking to my girlfriends carCame back down on meYeah, I guess I fell to my kneesTo keep from falling face-first into the dreamThe vision that had had me twisting out under the afternoon skyI didnt know it thenBut it was thirteen years to the day he diedHe held his hand in meLike brothers we walkedThrough the colorless world of an alcohol dreamI talked for hoursTrying the break through the silenceThat he held over meThen he started away, turned his headKeep it up so you can die like meEver since my brother odiedIve drifted all over from town to town to townEvery place I go its always the sameI keep doing junk, I keep going downMy mama got religion and my sisters gave upMan I just gave up tooI just died insideDont wanna die like georgeEverybody says theres things to seeEverybodys pointing their fingers at meI woke up drivingAfter another blackout from another bad drugI cant shake this hell that I made for myselfFor every other life I tookSee my sisters son walk the line I walkedHes only sixteenIf he dont learn from my mistakesHes gonna waste awayHes gonna die like me
