Soil lyrics

[Verse 1]

The phoenix he helped create

Out of control boy without a dad

Shot the gun that startled my life

While I drove him with a forty five

[Chorus]

Friends for years images in red

Blew off his own motherfucking head

Confidence, death, insecurity

Men fall unrealized

Unrealized, unrealized

[Verse 2]

Making a decision of death

While everyone around you plead

Now you fly in peace

I hope, my friend

A man can't avoid what he's meant to do

When he's meant to do it

Even if he doesn't really want to

My memories are of fun and friendship

Of weakness within the strength of youth

For reasons undefined, reasons undefined

Reasons undefined, reasons undefined

[Chorus]

[Chorus 2]

Don't you realize

Evil, lives in the motherfucking skin

Don't you realize

That evil lives in the motherfucking skin

[Outro]

Why the fuck did you take him away from us you motherfucker?
