ryan c. taylor// cachito's song

desert heat with a southwest sky
giving fuck all in the van with the guys
no one could do it better and Frankie just died
Cachitos coming down gonna build and destroy
we don't care where you're from 
we were Southside tx and we're missing our moms
skins, punks,hardcore kids
tx to ca nodding out on a blitz
yuma Arizona is where it really hit 
making our mark just some junkie kids
cachito crying wolf in the back
playing on repeat fuckin all out attack
we ran as one
criminals and hoods
outcasts lost sons
words we write and scars help to remind us so we sing along
some died trying if only to remind us not to fall but soldier on
sub o night with a blue red sky
sirens pulling up thought cachito would die
took it too far and oded on the lie
too high to see the signs can't turn back time
skins, punks, hardcore kids
we were the cats with 9 lives and my brother lost 10
play it back again and again
don't know how I survived can't believe that I did
sweating off the smack
eating suboxone
wish upon a wish
that frank and chito had lived
az days nodding out with my kin
playing on repeat we were Saturdays kids
we run as one
in remembrance lost sons
the path we trudge on
words we write and scars help to remind us so we sing along
some died trying if only to remind us not to fall back but to soldier on.

ryan c. taylor//weddings & funerals

come from a long line
of Darryl's and Dawns
martyrs and pawns
goodbyes and so longs
weddings and funerals
open mouth of a past
catching up is criminal
to an ego made of glass
attached to the hard times
like a cough to a lung
