The Mayhem & the Pain

Louie's living with a fire in his blood
And it burns like a mother fucker
I've picked him up off the ground
When his cells were down

And now its getting tougher
To stay
Motivated when the ends in sight
And the world keeps dragging you down

Everyday is another fight
Things aren't the same 'cause he's not around
Sometimes life is like a circle pit
You keep running round and round

And sometimes you just fall down
And you fall flat on the ground
Sometimes life is like a pile of shit
But one thing that stays the same

Is the mayhem and the pain
That keeps running through my veins
I watched my friend, Greg, slip away
With a bump and a bottle I watched him decay

And I could have tried to stop him yesterday
Now his ashes are floating in Biscayne Bay
And I listen to the music we once made
Everytime his face starts to fade

A part of me died in the van that day
On tour I missed his funeral by just one day
