• We built this City to grow up in
    until our skyscrapers started to look like steel bars
    so you ran across water to prove you could still walk
    The world mistook our fearful antics for miracles
    and that made us Gods as far as I could tell
    but even Gods have their flaws
    Personalities clash like a symphony fighting Sunlight
    We laughed, judging the future in hindsight
    We knew better
    We were better
    Brothers in arms of broken families
    that failed to hold us together
    Better weather wasn't comin whether we liked it or not
    So we stood in thunderstorms
    forcing the rain back upward
    because we weren't ready to drown yet
    We flooded the heavens just to see the Sun set
    and you can bet we would do it forever
    The two of us, children.
    Reckless, but clever
    holding onto lightning like fireflies
    pressing our hands over wounds we couldn't cauterize
    We justified debauchery
    Brought humor to mouths only thirsty for resolution
    and we dreamed of revolution
    without the means to achieve it
    without the honor to receive it
    We didn't care
    Quick questions and quotes conjured kept us appeased
    We were just two pieces of twine teased
    into believing they were a rope
    The same side of two coins
    When our forces joined we created worlds
    just to break them down again
    You were more than just a friend
    You were the Lyre and I the Chariot
    You were Brutus and I Judas Iscariot
    Bonded by our vices that we paraded like virtues
    So we rehearsed verses behind the walls of Dis
    but we swore it was Empyrean
    brother, I'll miss you when you're gone
    Hold onto these memories
    Remember when we said "******** the world"
    trying to make Love out of anything
    When we sang in the streets with cut up feet
    Because we didn't want a stage
    Just Glory
    Undefined Immortality
    Before you run off without me
    let's play one more song
    light one more fire
    Let's fight for our lives in one more Arena
    and carve our names into the walls
    so no man can die without knowing us
    Because we worked too hard to go without a legacy
    suffered too many scars not to know invincibility
    We got on our knees and prayed for this
    What I'm trying to say is
    I'm going to miss you
    The World is going to miss us
    and the hurricanes we caused
    every blinding glare and dissonant tone
    But the say trees grow taller when they stand alone
    and I've heard it enough times that it's starting to sound true
    So what I'm trying to say is, Brother,
    I'm proud of you.
