lyrics

(HT)

I'm too emotional,
tears could fill an ocean full.
Talkin to you was like
talkin to a broken wall.
I write too fast.
It always comes out scribbles.
Is he takin notes again
or writin life in riddles?
Never made a song together
while you were still alive.
Every time I bring it up
it kills the vibe.
Wilts the vine.
The irony in being grave shift
for my wages.
Outta patience,
all this I'm somehow
okay with.
You're a neighborhood
they were scared to go through.
Misunderstood and wanting,
but they all swear they know you.
Sorry for the things I've said.
Even if it's in my head.
I hope somehow our paths
can cross again and intersect.
I'll admit it,
I get acidic and conceited.
But work only gave me three days,
so this is my bereavement.
When you left
the issues just sorta flew away.
I don't remember it
but Sean says you used to say.

(Dwight Ward + HT)

If you wanna make God laugh,
then just tell him your plans. x2

You needed help
and I would brush it off
for a fuckin song.
Now I can't even call you up
just to talk.
Guilty of ignoring you
and dwelling on being selfish.
I ran away with music
while you were just feeling helpless.
Told myself I'd visit sooner.
Wish I could've said a few words.
A space half explored.
Your old tapes badly warped.
You lived like the captain of a sunken ship.
And left an album from when I was a kid.
You will be missed.

If you wanna make God laugh
then just tell her your plans. x2

Gone, but not forgotten.
Echoed songs about your problems.
Lost in cautionary tales,
that have gotten very stale.
And I won't let you down.
I know you were let down enough.
Not slowing up til tooth's ground to dust.
This elegy will be mountainous.
Found enough support.
Been down and done before.
Nothing can stop me from being
proud of what you endured.
The planet's a cage,
God's vanished,
ashamed and went away.
So when I think of what I fight for,
I'll remember your name.
