الأغاني: Thought Crime. The End Of The Beginning - EP. Jimmy Dean.

Now let me tell ya ?bout a friend of mine
It was not too long ago and once upon a time
I was thinkin? bout the days we were growin? up
Livin? up to the life that they expected from us

You know we had a dream, and it seemed that it could be
A shot at a good life, instead of these hard times
But his pain was too great, and so that day never came
And though, I?m a year older now I can still feel his pain

Thinkin? bout our lives- how we had come so far,
Though it had been so hard, we always came out a star
And? Jimmy always talked bout what he?d do in the future
Cuz big dreams would come if we made it through

Life could never be only good times ya know,
And the downs turn around even though it seems slow
And you got to stay real, and you got to stay with it
Cuz sadness got the best of him and now he?s down below

Jimmy Dean was a friend of mine
A life of disappointment he?d confide
He could not depend on himself in the end
This selfish lie

To tell the truth I don?t understand this man
He had a foolproof plan, he had the tools in his hand
It was a question of time before he found his fate
But he bought into the lies and so he drowned in hate
It was a day way back and he confided in me
And what he said to me was, man it?s time to leave
And I said ?Where you goin?, he said gone to the skies
To give the earth my body bag so my soul could rise

Jimmy Dean was a friend of mine
A life of disappointment he?d confide
He could not depend on himself in the end
This selfish lie

Heaven never waits, it?s not for very long
Everything we ever learned, all we tried wasn?t wrong
All of the dreams that we had they would come
If we made it through this pain there?s no reason to be numb
But you let all of your demons rise up within
Don?t you know that the voices of the good, they can win
And we know that life can fade away, its fades into the blue
You never gave your life a chance and now its over and you?re through

And when I saw him I just told him to chill
Take a breath, sit back don?t keep it all concealed
This life is complicated, the weight it falls on you
And they expect you to handle it all to get through

And don?t ya know- cause everything that you feel in life
Is not always good, but it?s not worth it to die
You?re not the only one who goes through pain and strife
Jimmy Dean could only see his thought of suicide

I know it always seems so hard
Just to believe in who you are
Sometimes we don?t see the sun
The darkness covers everyone

Sometimes when you feel so consumed with pain
The only way out is straight down the drain
It?s never too late to change the road you?re on
You got to realize that there?s a better way

Somehow I knew that you could never be changed
You had no idea the pain that ya caused, now you?re gone
And I saw-
What ya left behind, in the end your family
Wonderin?, suffering- what good will come of this
No matter what you face there?s got to be another way
But you never found

In the end you found, you found the only way out
