Friends fall like dominos
People I loved tumble down like dominos
I never felt this pain til I reached the hospital
Doctor shaking their head telling me it's not good
Wish the life we lived was clean.
Sex, drugs almost like a rockstar scene
I tried to live like my grandparents wanted me to
Things didn't turn out right fallen angel and lost wings
Time is ticking with the person in front of me.
Best friend but I seen them as family
I've made a big mistake...
Taken them along the ride
Hell I was even feeling the vibe.
Wake up to reality and it's morning breath
Lived to see young but feel too old to stretch
I'm finished with this wicked life
It's a heavy burden pressed on me.
Hearing my friends dying left and right
What's left in my life I wish I could make it right
You see it matters how you lived it so long
Friends fall like dominos while same road I went on.
