Friendleader - A John Egbert Fan Song (Download)
Track Art - docmuerte

A song I’ve been working on for the past few days, and something I’ve been pretty excited to show you guys. Once again, the amazing mixing/piano is credited to Tamara. The guitar/vocals/writing was done by myself.

How do you expect me to lead your troops
When I’m Jumping through all of these hoops
Should I leave behind and forget this pain
All the heartache that this game has lain

A seed that melancholy grows
My sorrow knows only strange prose
I can’t just forget how I feel
A family murdered like old crows
And now this sadness only grows
I can’t just forget that it’s real

Will my best friend even care
When I try to tussle his blonde hair 
It’s only a matter of time
In all the years that come and pass
Will this binding friendship even last
And beat through the dirt and the grime
There’s nothing I can do or say to make this feeling fly away
The heroes of breathe and of time

And love is just a stupid game
For people who are dumb and lame
I have no time for that shit
And even if I tried and did
Do you think she’d love me, please don’t kid
There’s no one left to blame

A hero who controls his breath
Will close his eyes and pray for death
