The whiskey I've been swilling Has soured like the soil Nothing we plant Can live here anymore Smoked my fill of roaches Tired of sniffing dust Red skies won't turn blue There's nothing left for us So I said Goddamn Save your thoughts and prayers I don't want your hell Lame excuses Have left me so numb No explanation For what we have become I know you're still waiting To see it change my dear Look above Coz' red skies won't turn clear Bad enough Without your Lord looking down I was built to persist To survive the divine My sight's long gone so I can't see the reaper Reaching for my soul So show me your hell Bad enough Without your Lord looking down I was built to persist To survive the divine So I said Goddamn Save your thoughts and prayers I don't want your hell

Brother why'd you have to go? You left us all so soon Remember that song I wrote about your family years ago? Well, they're waiting for you to come home What do I do? What do I say? And dad tells me to pray So I've prayed and prayed, but the hurt won't go away The pain gets worse, it never stops And I've asked the Lord for us to swap I beg and plead 'cause you have kids to feed Why is it always stormy weather? And brother, tell me if it all gets better Why did you leave? Why did you die? You finally made your brother cry I know you're watching over us tonight And I hope you're watching over us tonight I'm sorry I missed your call I wasn't there for you at all And know I thought it through, maybe if I answered you That you would still be here, all along Now no more calls, can't you see? I took for granted family And once they're gone, you'll never get that back No more laughs, no more hugs So hold on to the ones you love Your soul is free, I love you Anthony And why is it always stormy weather? And brother, tell me, when does it get better? Why did you leave? Why did you die? You finally made your brother cry I know you're watching over from above So hold on to the ones you love
