Acts of Desperation

We were brothers in heartache
we drank to pain and misery
we shot up drugs to self destruct
binged out for days that turned into months
and when we O.D.ed we still woke up
disappointed with no hope or luck
'cause what is life without scars?
suicide pacts and needle tracks in our arms
desperation, no control
I know you wanted to die
but I was so afraid of losing you
after we cut you down, after we fought
I cried while you were in my arms
I thought I was losing a brother I never had
