Korcid - Tyler's Tale Lyrics

We all know how it goes
One day we're born
One day we die
How can we tell if any of our present actions have any significance at all

If we don't know where we're going or what we're going to become
Then what is the meaning of life
To plague humanity ever since we became sentient

These were the ties I had with Ty
Well, for reasons you know why

With every cigarette drag, the memories would linger in
Tyler and I were blood, more than just best friends
I remember us beatboxing on the weekends in my mother's basement

When we weren't stoned, super smashed, gaming
Our friendship was real with no sense of direction
We were like gorilla glue, inseparable and strong
But as time went on, our environments changed and we didn't get along

Love can be dangerous, especially for those from broken places
Tyler's case was no exception
His heart was yearning for acceptance
I wish we could go back to them days when we were young and carefree in so many ways

As life spins its tale, like an apple on a tree
Deception lurks close, a bitter truth to see
Truth's inclusive guise, subjective in its lines
Leaving me awake, pondering wrongs and rights that intertwine

That first flame must have felt warm inside, lighting the torch for future delight
I believe Danni was her name
Ty would speak highly all the time, thinking he was the luckiest guy alive
Finding his soulmate before the age of 29

But like with all toxic relationships, it was never the real thing that was being displayed
She would lie, cheat, blame him, and play games
I'd do my best to reach out, but alcohol seemed to help him more with the pain

As life spins its tale, like an apple on a tree
Deception lurks close, a bitter truth to see
Truth's inclusive guise, subjective in its lines
Leaving me awake, pondering wrongs and rights that intertwine

After the breakup, Tyler was doing great at managing his life
Until that fateful day, Danni popped in, holding a fifth of Jim

In her other hand was a switchblade knife, claiming she had his kid
Blaming him for the mistake, even flooding his head with the idea that he was a piece of shit
Convinced him to pay for expenses

The truth was an email with a faulty DNA script, with no court date attachment
Love is truly a dangerous thing, running from a broken place like Ty was

As life spins its tale, like an apple on a tree
Deception lurks close, a bitter truth to see
Truth's inclusive guise, subjective in its lines
Leaving me awake, pondering wrongs and rights that intertwine

Tyler went mad, lashing out at anyone who would argue about that kid he never met
On the final night, alcohol hit him pretty bad

Ty left me a voicemail around 6am
Slurring off the confessions before putting the shotgun to his head

I vowed that morning the bitch would be dead
It's been four years since and I'm still pretty pissed
Four lives were devastated over one dumb bitch

In many different religions, a deity made the entire universe
Put us all in it
And whatever we do on this earth will be used to determine when and how we spend eternity afterwards
