The Mayhem & The Pain

Against All Authority

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
