Mom is dying - this is the prelude to the upcoming lyrics about her

[helpmehollywood]

"Gone Before I Came"

Think you can stand
To watch a man's demise
Right before your very eyes?
What did you say
When your name was called
You gave him silence thats all

All you ever knew
Blew away in the breeze today
And i bet you didnt even notice
I bet you didnt even look to see

Cause you are blind to me
Pouring down rain on the windshield
Blind to me
And my demise

Call me a friend
I dare you
Say one more lie
I swear you
Will never understand
Who i was on the way in
And who i am on the way out

All you ever loved
Crushed beneath an ego weight
Selfish bastard i bet you forgot
To take one last look at me

Cause you are blind to me
Pale skinned friend in a snowstorm
Blind to me
And my demise
Too bad you couldnt be there
To see the betrayal in my eyes

What is life
If its put on a shelf
Collecting dust on its way to hell
All you gotta do
Is yearn for truth
And you will find what hides behind
The dust

All you ever loved
All you ever knew
Blew away today and you didnt have a clue
