lyrics

A Very Long Time
Written by Stephen Artemis

Brothers and sisters somethings got to change
I can’t keep living my life this way
The more that I own the less that is mine
I may be gone for a very long time
Everything I’ve done I’ve done on my own
I brought this upon myself god rest my soul
Please tell my daughter I’m sorry. I tried.
I may be gone for a very long time

Instructions to hand me the money I wrote
I walked to the teller and handed my note
Sirens in the distance when I got outside
I may be gone for a very long time
Nerves caught me quickly as the sirens cried
Collided head on as I ran the red lights
I laid in the wreck till I bled out and died
I may be gone for a very long time
