Permanent Scars

Check

Coming straight out the gate
I know a lot of y'all could relate
If faith took somebody from you now
You patiently wait until you reunited
It's got you fighting back the tears for years
It's like we keep pouring more for our peers
We're blessed to be here
But we deal with the survivor's guilt (right)

I take a drive and think of all the times we built
It still hurts but now we honoring your legacy
You up there with the Alpha and Omega, see
I don't believe in God and not the one that's in the church (nah)
I believe we're all gods floating through the universe
I'm trying to leave the earth better than I found it
So that on my next journey I will be surrounded by my ancestors

And comrades who came before us
Explorers of the cosmos and its beautiful chorus
If I listen close enough, I can hear your echo
And that's a sound that I never want to let go

Wherever you're at, wherever you are
I put prayers in the air as I stare at the stars
You want a journey, but you are eternally ours
The impression that you left made a permanent scar

Wherever you're at, wherever you are
I put prayers in the air as I stare at the stars
You want a journey, but you are eternally ours
The impression that you left made it permanent

So if it rains, pennies from heaven and dimes from the divine
Is that you dropping clues for me to find, huh?
Sublime communication, I'm mindful of the signs you've been sending
That's how I know your story's never ending
I'm spending what energy I have just to make it through the day forever
Angry at the gods for taking you away
I know that's selfish, I'm helpless, I'm only being honest
But rest assured I'm executing everything I promised (what?)

There's probably some of y'all who this is resonating with
If you up late contemplating the relationship between life and death
The spiritual planes, how does the soul leave the flesh
And yet here it remains?
I stay haunted by a future that we never got to share (yeah)
In a past full of memories that lock me in despair
But I'm present (right here), know that the growing pains are never pleasant (nah)
Until my death comes, I'm living like a legend

Wherever you're at, wherever you are
I put prayers in the air as I stare at the stars
You want a journey, but you are eternally ours
The impression that you left made a permanent scar

Wherever you're at, wherever you are
I put prayers in the air as I stare at the stars
You want a journey, but you are eternally ours
The impression that you left made a permanent scar

To my brother P Lock, rock back on
Big Sha, rock back on
We miss you Jack, rock back on
We never gonna relax, no, not at all
This goin' out to pops to Domous
Doug Danger
Doug was wrong
I can't believe you're gone
Rest in peace
