Follow The Black Back Home

It came long before us but born the same day
It came just like us
But learned to feel ashamed

It grew up right beside us, present but blurred
We learned how to communicate
But it never spoke a word

It was the silent stare into the wall
The vacuum after joy
The connection between a grown up and a toy

We reached our teenage liberation
Learned to drink, deceive and fight
When we found our own identities
It started visit us at night

Be aware, be prepared to follow the black back home

By knife it took the first of us
A gash down the road left a body on the floor
What went wrong nobody knows
We were never that close to the core

In time it comes to most of us, our sibling from the past
As life presents a darker tone
We abandon the ship in unity
So what went wrong nobody knows
We were never that close to the core

Be aware, be prepared to follow the black back home

To follow the black back home...

Be aware, be prepared to follow the black back home
