The Thing That He Became Video (MV)

I been lookin round a ways
Trying to find a few more days
I can put into my clocks
I watch the time, it slips away
Towards the drinks that I could pour
And if I poured them I would say
All the deadly things I think about
Stuck inside my brain

When you're looking to the road
Wondering if you should go
You could leave it all behind
And your loved ones pay no mind
Life is precious, what they say
And if you waste it, waste away
Getting wasted, wasting time
Looking toward a better day

What a pity
That's what they'll say
It's a shame that he became
The very thing that he became
What a loss
Oh the pain
That his family had gone through
In carrying his name

I been looking round a ways
Trying to get out of this haze
From the vapors in my head
And those little clouds of rain
Self-induced from all these things
That I took to ease the pain
Carried over to who I am
Now I'll never be the same

What a pity
That's what they'll say
It's a shame that he became
The very thing that he became
What a loss
Oh the pain
That his family had gone through
In carrying his name

What if you had loved him, loved him better
What if you had loved him, would he ever change
What if you had loved him, loved him better oh whoa

What if you had loved him, loved him better
What if you had loved him, would he ever change
What if you had loved him, loved him better oh whoa

What a pity
That's what they'll say
It's a shame that he became
The very thing that he became
What a loss
Oh the pain
That his family had gone through
In carrying his name
