about

A song for our brother, Wile.

lyrics

Clips from the police report were hung up on the fridge.
Youthful acts of terror from the South Fraley Bandits.
Learning bar spins behind your house. We'd meet there after school.
And we'd ditch the pep rally on your pegs to get drunk and act like fools.
At the kitchen table with the rise of the morning sun,
We mourned the loss of a good friend. With blurry eyes we came undone.
We talked about our own deaths and both could agree.
So we made a pact that when we left this world, we'd throw a party.

I slept in that morning and didn't see you leave.
I had a some things I had to do up north for a couple weeks.
I was 3000 feet above the sea level when I got the call.
Shane explained it all.
Still in denial when I returned to town.
Everything was gray and the sun had withered down.
But the emptiness was clear with out your presence here.
You left us too soon. February 8th the sun disappeared.

Releasing lanterns into the sky.
I'll pour a Straub into the ground.
You know we'll meet up one day with the comfort of your loved ones all around.

And we'll know you're looking down at us.
Or maybe you're looking up.
Laughing at every tear we shed wishing we would cheer the fuck up

So tonight we'll wipe our eyes.
We'll twist a cap and come alive.
And celebrate a brother and the beauty of his life.
