13 Years — текст песни (Everclear)

Woke up sweating in the sun

Sprawled across my big brothers grave

Shaking and drunk with sleep

I crawled to my feet and walked up into the shade

Of a young elm tree that must have been planted since the last we came

Vicki, my mom, and me, cleaned the dirt

From the plaque that says his name

Walking to my girlfriends car

Came back down on me

Yeah, I guess I fell to my knees

To keep from falling face-first into the dream

The vision that had had me twisting out under the afternoon sky

I didnt know it then

But it was thirteen years to the day he died



He held his hand in me

Like brothers we walked

Through the colorless world of an alcohol dream

I talked for hours

Trying the break through the silence

That he held over me

Then he started away, turned his head

Keep it up so you can die like me



Ever since my brother odied

Ive drifted all over from town to town to town

Every place I go its always the same

I keep doing junk, I keep going down

My mama got religion and my sisters gave up

Man I just gave up too

I just died inside

Dont wanna die like george

Everybody says theres things to see

Everybodys pointing their fingers at me



I woke up driving

After another blackout from another bad drug

I cant shake this hell that I made for myself

For every other life I took

See my sisters son walk the line I walked

Hes only sixteen

If he dont learn from my mistakes

Hes gonna waste away

Hes gonna die like me
