Another Chalk Up (Joe Hagar Suicide '98)


I felt it too my old friend
That cold and lonely feeling
Unattached from the very things
That made you who you were

I think I knew that day
That another friend had given up
Put the world on his shoulders
And sent his emotions into the dust

I was alone myself - and
Wondering why the love is gone
Just a whispering of a name
That used to mean I did belong

All the love that's faded
Is it really as real as it feels
Do I really live on in their hearts
Is there anything that's really real?

What is the chalking up of another for?
Why do people give up on themselves
I don't want to know or understand
I surely don't want to see it in a dead friend's eye
