On Loss And Having

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
 It must have been a dream but it felt so real
 Saw the wounds, heard the screams, thought about your last meal
 How we ate like kings, how you led us all in grace
 How nobody had forseen what would soon take place
 And when everything went down
 The silence you left was the strangest sound
 Dangerous town but we all felt safe
 Cause we knew that you slept with the angels now
 Rumors keep coming in
 A few thousand missing you just like me
 People keep running into you
 I've got a feeling that you might be alive
 (Rata tat tat, bum bum bum bum
 It's the sound of a gat and the sound of a drum
 But whatever you attach to is what you become
 One plus one, double horizontal line one)
 [Hook]
 This is not fair, this is not pure, this is not right
 Trust me, when it's all over you will see the light
 Live by the sword, die by the sword, but Jesus Christ
 We shot that motherfucker right between the eyes
 I offer these thoughts on loss and having
 You're here but you're not, you're near but you're not
 I offer these thoughts on loss and having
 You're here but you're not, you're near but you're not
 [Verse 2]
 Staring at the safety sleeve
 These tingling feelings just won't leave
 I can't sleep, anxiety dreams
 I need a repreive, I need caffeine
 Set the stage, my lips don't seem,? missing piece?
 Walking the streets, haunted by beats
 Follow my lead by the loss that I bleed
 Scream in the dark, but it's off key
 Bow breaks in the powerful breeze
 I hold my breath and the hours would freeze
 'Til they tomorrows may bring
 Squandered time didn't know you would leave
 Part of me was lost in the sea
 And the cost of these losses I found it in me
 Replacing my friends?
 [Hook]
 This is not fair, this is not pure, this is not right
 Trust me, when it's all over you will see the light
 Live by the sword, die by the sword, but Jesus Christ
 We shot that motherfucker right between the eyes
 I offer these thoughts on loss and having
 You're here but you're not, you're near but you're not
 I offer these thoughts on loss and having
 You're here but you're not, you're near but you're not
