Good Luck

Children running down the street in uniforms
 Laughing in the rain they were heading towards
 And they were yelling about something
 They were singing and clinging from the light
 Tender men on attendance just like them
 We'll forget about the rest
 They were searching for sunlight
 They were searching for gold
 So why catch a fever from the inside?
 Dig my hand into my pocket
 Open up my wallet
 Such a strange gesture to make in this town
 Sure aint gold but it gets me around
 Can I grab a twenty from the inside?
 Can't you just smell it?
 Now spend it wisely
 He looks up at me then back at the ground.
 I just wish he would f**kin'turn right around
 Now, I have talked to myself late at night
 Oh I tried to connect with the ghost who was
 My best friend
 My brother
 My accomplice
 Another writer my best man
 And sometimes, I feel so forgiven at night
 I just put down my shades but I open my ways for the battle that just leads me
 I hear ben tell me
 "brother your problems all started in the summer of '98
 In Northern New Jersey later in the day
 I was thinking about a distance and unaccepting fate
 I was fourteen years old but what else can I say?
 Even then I knew time was gonna catch me
 Imagine going to a private school in the summer of '02
 My first true love left me and I didn't know what to do
 I moved into New York and I thought I found the truth
 A plain glass full of patties and pills we shouldn't chew
 Well I swore that the drugs were gonna kill me
 I was wrong I was wrong I was ready for. Dont try to blame me
 because she was wrong
 Didn't know she was unaffected
 Heard all I wanted throuh a needle
 I knew that the drugs were gonna kill her
 Fast forward to the fall of '05
 I met the girl of my dreams and she helped me to survive
 Then she left my life at a complicated time
 And in March of '06 I attempted suicide
 Well, I know that sudifant can't kill me
 Well maybe what I'll do
 Ya, I'll apologize
 Sorry mom and dad I never meant to make you cry
 Thanks to all my friends you're the reason I'm alive
 Wonder how I'm living in this rip we call time.
 Well, it will take more than bad luck just to kill me
 Lins and things and birds and sounds
 I've got ten years of words buried in the ground
 They're being reassembled by the ghost of Benny Brown
 He's attempting the screenplay even still now
 And he better cast someone cool like Johnny Depp to play me
 Child took my twenty and he looked me in the eyes
 He said "Thanks for the gold" and continued walking by
 I could see him proudly show his friends it made me want to cry
 'Cuz all I could do was think of my own life lucky guy
 Thank you all for everything
 I miss you all
 Good Night.
