Dedicated to one of my best guy friends (T) who has been here for me through everything (thick and thin).

a toast to his depression
that crinkled up his nose
a toast to his depression
that canceled out his woes

a toast to his depression
that slashed knives at his wrists
a toast to his depression
that cut him up to bits

he disappeared without a trace
nothing but a void
his mind 'n body turned to waste
nothing but destroyed

his laughter turned into a frown
his smile seemed to break
suffocated, 'bout to drown
in the city lake

"i love you baby"
i'd tell him so
"please don't leave me"
i'd say it slow

i thought one day
he'd be sealed shut
in a coffin
well, somewhat

it was too soon
people will say
i disagree
now he's at bay

a toast to his depression
that caused his world to shake
a toast to his depression
that made my heart ache

i love you
