They say

They say it's bad, they say it's corrosive
They say it brings out the devil in all things
They say it hates the world and ruins lives, irrespective
They say

I know a man who loves to drink
Not because he has to but because he likes it
Once in a while he lets it take over
They say

When he is at the brink of consciousness
He mumbles worthless lyrics
If you only had the patience to listen to him
They say

It's the deepest truth he will ever utter
Under that heavenly state
No worldly bounds or superficial clutter
They say

Ignorance will treat it as rubbish
Love will treat is as humor
Friendship will treat it as the"good old times"
They say

Before he collapses, he remembers
And means every word
If it mentions you, should be honored
They say

Who ever thought a man could be so frail
Subject to mortal delight
I'm no better than any other
They say

From Adam and Eve to judgment day
The world would turn relentless
When a man stops breathing, it all makes sense
They say

Remember him for those words he uttered
In a state of clear mind
He meant it, liked it and may be even loved it
They say
