“Ode to the Cheater”

​This is for the hurt the hate and the razor blades
The sins which we consume
This is for the whips and the chains
The sex and things
We shouldn't love to do
This is for the pleasure and the pain
Rope and restraints
The heart that breaks in two
This is for the hole in the ground
I put you both down
Bet the dirt made it hard to move....
Shovel by shovel
I'm losing my trouble
One load at a time
Shovel by shovel
I'm losing my troubles
And gain a little peace of mind
This is for the greed and the rage
The music played
The things that friends go through
This is for the girls and the drugs
A brother's love
And the death of that love too
This is for the bullets in the gun
Guitars and fun
The things that best friends do
This is for the hole in the ground
I put you both down
But the dirt made it hard to move
