Don't Burn The Day Away
Oh, isn't it strange
How we move our lives for another day?
Like skipping a beat
What if a great wave should wash us all away?
Just thinking out loud
Don't mean to dwell on this dying thing
LeRoi passed away this evening. I did not see it coming. Just a month ago George and I were in a crowd of 40,000 who filmed him a Get Well Message that was sent right to the hospital. He was supposed to be OK. He wasn't supposed to die. Jeff Coffin was supposed to be a temporary replacement. The future is no place to place your better days.
I feel like I've lost a family member. Someone I've spent countless hours of every summer with. Someone who has comforted me with the sweetest musical sounds I've ever heard. The band that got me through high school. The band that gave me my happiest times ever. The band I fell in love with. I'm laying awake bawling my ass off right now for a person I've never met. This is what DMB means to me.
I love you, LeRoi. We'll dig it shallow so you can feel the rain.
I can't believe that we would lie in graves
Wondering if we had spent our living days well
I can't believe that we would lie in graves
Wondering what we might of been
I'm never, ever going to hear this again live. I'm devastated. Just devastated.

"And if I go, before I'm old,
Oh brother of mine, please don't forget me..."
Never, brother. I will never forget you. Thank you for making such a glorious impact on my life.
