Relative Insanity
Sir Evergrace Longsword 1967 (California)
I was a child, barely born of this earth,
a broken shell I became, from my brothers rebirth
Sadness has followed, each and every day,
ever since the time, that he passed away
Anger and tears, are companions true,
new episodes of darkness, that only bring blue
Memories of pain, stuck in the past,
fade into nothing, how long will I last
Years I have lived, with a tormented heart,
each day is a struggle, that tears me apart
