To Have You - For Those I Love

So tell me what ya know about hope

You tell me what ya know about free

There’s been blood on our knees since we were teens

Don’t tell me ya know what it means to breathe

There’s no world me and mine haven’t seen

You best believe

So tell me what ya know about growth

Tell me what ya know about me

There’s been blood in our teeth since our first meal

Don’t tell me ya know what it means to see

There’s no love me and mine havn’t grieved

You couldn’t feel

We don’t know what it is to sleep

Whn each night your eyes bleed

Cause there’s not a lot of steps between

Peace and utter misery

When you’re 17 and all you have is love and dreams

Those tunes we made as teens

Gave a way to grieve and get outta the scheme

But those early scars never leave

Those tunes and our art gave us a path out of the dark

But we still get lost without the light when we lead

This pain is real

Some of these words go back to 2014

Another ode to top scheme

A music dream we both laid out

But never got to see

Cause it’s been war in my pen

Since we were 10

It’s always been

Write your hate and pain away

To make tomorrow better than today

For your mates

Cause we don’t want things this way
