Wouldn't it be great, we haven't seen in a year
Our friendship got packed like a fucking product
It used to be smooth, every weekend
We chilled, took sips of Absolut
I can't even recall when I last knocked on your door
Many summers ago I last (???) rushed the dude
Beer tasted a bit too good, even the last bridges burn
Don't turn your back to your friends, you'll lose the rest of them too
Markus, forever, rest in peace
Living is dying, so dying is living
Please explain, my state of mind is sad
The start is always difficult in east Helsinki ghetto
Back against the wall at eighteen years of age
I pour beer to your memory, when my sun goes down
A song for those whose life is heavy as a heavy metal riff
I put hip-hop on the record player, smoke your spliff
Markus, you bring tears into my eyes
I think about the past, I gaze up to the clouds
Too many youngsters leave too soon
The whole Roihuvuori* pours to you
Markus, you can't help your loved ones
It's pointless to take your own life
Too many youngsters leave too soon
The whole Roihuvuori* pours to you
Life and death go hand in hand here
The reality hurts, it forces you to close your eyes
Same shit, different day, it doesn't change
Tomorrow into yesterday, last week into last month
Markus' own decision, no new opportunity
No chance for us to change our past
Talking is temporality, silence isn't forever
Society pushes you off the roof of an apartment building
The capitalists make the lives of the poor miserable
Youngsters slip into the wrong path underaged
Drink the finnish (???), pass out in the snow
The lonely ones quietly slit their own wrists
A birthday present to a girlfriend without cash
Deal ass to shorten the student loan
The dad grows up as broke
Matti Jylhä is gone, had to grab the shotgun
Markus, you bring tears into my eyes
I think about the past, I gaze up to the clouds
Too many youngsters leave too soon
The whole Roihuvuori* pours to you
Markus, you can't help your loved ones
It's pointless to take your own life
Too many youngsters leave too soon
The whole Roihuvuori* pours to you
Why does the memory of this death live on
Longer than the memory of the life that was ended
Ironic that our parenting used to get praise
Now the world's healthiest children take their own lives
The suicide of my best friend is still a mystery to me
Markus was a survivor stereotype from beginning to the end
(?), (?) and (?), not any method
Only the selfish ones do as Seppo Heikinheimo did**
Even if my life was more deserted than Prairie
I will stay sane, when I flip I'll walk to Hesperia***
Still the nazis bully every politician
You could look deep into the mirror before breaking someone's life
My friend returns only in nightmares
Our friendship was like one soul in two bodies
One beginning, one ending, you just need to stay up
You haven't seen much life at twenty years old
Markus, you bring tears into my eyes
I think about the past, I gaze up to the clouds
Too many youngsters leave too soon
The whole Roihuvuori* pours to you
Markus, you can't help your loved ones
It's pointless to take your own life
Too many youngsters leave too soon
The whole Roihuvuori* pours to you
