271

Half one on a Friday, wasn't my day
I hadn't heard a word for three or four days
The irony, I thought you could be okay
Was busy being something I'm not, facing the ashtray
'Cause you had been through worse but you'd still answer the phone
To lift me up with the words, I wish that I had've known
What if his heart gave out?
What if his mind was gone?
What if he's already passed and I'm the last to know?

The phone rang and my ma just made a dart for it
Knew by the look on her face this was the start of it
Silence, drooping eyelids, the body's lifeless
The last time that me and you spoke, d'you know what I said?
Yeah, neither do I
I was probably too stoned out my mind to see the signs
You were probably hoping I would stop by and make time
I'll regret that every day of my life until I die
Now my red eyes only seem to show me what's behind me
Trying to hide from my mind but in time it always finds me
And I fight with the truth every night in my room
Thinking this could all be different if I find a way through
But the pictures won't change as long as I stare at them
And our messages saved in the chat, you're never active
Like the life in your casket, when I saw you last and
I slowly slipped past it, no smile, haven't laughed since
If time heals minds take it a day at a time
But three years dragged by and you're fresh in my mind
Watching Monster House on the famous couch
And three spice bags, no veg, straight to the house
Front page of the paper mate, you finally made it
Might've took your whole life but you're finally famous
But life is overrated if you die to find greatness
It's the people we meet and our memories that make us who we are

Yeah, you make me who I am
And you didn't wanna go
I was too young to understand
That that's the way things are
But I'll meet you when you land
And how was I supposed to know?
The last time, I still can't
I still can't, yeah

Now every time I go to find time I'm so inclined to go change minds
'Til the only thing connecting us are telephone lines
Then the only thing that's left of us just gave up and died last night
It's been a long time so i'll hesitate
I'm on a lifeline, I'm risking everything
And in the daytime I'm trying to meditate
I'm losing daylight, it's time to medicate
They hear me screaming in my dreams when I'm sleeping
'Cause Seán came back and I wish you could've seen him
But I guess I was dreaming
My eyes fixed at the ceiling
I guess I'm just believing what I want to believe in
Seeing shadows on the walls tonight
I'm seeing ghosts that are ten feet tall tonight
I need a new way to get through my sleepless nights
Don't wanna smoke, I'm gonna smoke tonight
I'm like a body with the soul subtracted
All the times I wish I did, I never reacted
Everybody's butting in, I've always been passive
All the thoughts I kept in burnt my skin like acid
And it's melting through the casket
Yeah, said it's melting through the casket
