Old Friends

I got lots of old friends. People I never See
Folks I wish that I could catch up with and others gone. Rest in peace
I really miss you. Ya you are the reason I hope heaven's real
Text message telling me your gone, I don't know how to deal
I'll tell you how it feels. Freight train to the chest
Blindsided knuckle sandwich got a jaw that's made of glass
Sucker punched by memories, I never even knew I had
It's been a couple years, They said that Time would make it fade away
Simple math. Really, the more you know the more your bound to lose
People come and people go, that's nature that's what people do
Love can turn to hate and hate it tends to spread like wildfire
Quickly uncontainable, Highly uncontrollable
Try to take the highroad but it's hard to when you're feeling low
Sometimes I look back and wonder where the hell my feelings go
But lately I've been feeling numb Feeling dumb struck
And these emotions way too heavy for this dump truck
I get these vivid recollections
Seconds that I cherish, then they vanish I'm just lost in my reflection until I find it
I remember everything
And it's amazing how your memory can calm and bring serenity
If your out there and you hear me. Let me say it clearly
Hope that your still with me you should know I miss you dearly
Everybody's doing fine, talk about you all the time
Wonder why the world is taking all the good ones prematurely

I just hope it happens when I'm ready to go
Fall asleep and never wake up ninety seven years old
Last dream I ever have will take me way back when
Go through Every single second live a lifetime again
All I hope it happens when I've done all I can
Tell me what's it gonna take before I say I'm Content
And tell me what I need to do before I get to the end
I give a hundred percent never holding anything back. Amen

Whatever non-word Jim Henson meant
We were old friends when we had just met
And we stayed old, up to and today
You were just visiting, but I plan to stay
So when the well-dressed, small bird, comes for me
To tell me I'm about to die uncomfortably
I hope I spit upon his face and curse god
Even if I could have been worse off
I will not go quietly
I heard that when you died, it was a violent scene
For which nobody gave you proper credit
It was copacetic, and you should know that I will not forget it
And Your folks didn't approve at all
Of my jokes at your funeral
You know, because I hide behind humour
I told them that I thought you'd die sooner
And that I deleted the history on your computer
Like you asked me to. You sick motherfucker

I just hope it happens when I'm ready to go
Fall asleep and never wake up ninety seven years old
Last dream I ever have will take me way back when
Go through Every single second live a lifetime again
All I hope it happens when I've done all I can
Tell me what's it gonna take before I say I'm Content
And tell me what I need to do before I get to the end
I give a hundred percent never holding anything back. Amen
