Teeth marks on the skin |
The greatest trick the devil ever played was to take away my friend |
I got your face engraved into my flesh |
So I can try to make amends with that day I won’t forget |
In Minnesota I flew in so that we could both record |
Me and Kristoff Krane were supposed to go on tour |
Nobody answered, we were knocking on your door |
And when they carried out your body, I was staring at your shoes on the floor |
Still the answers never come |
Your funeral was beautiful, it captured what you loved |
I sat there in a stupor, fractured by the hugs |
That I gave your family members, growing sadder by the months |
But I won’t dwell inside the ends |
And that’s not what you would want, you would tell me find connections |
To the world and to tell it my confessions |
The hell that I invest in is a part of something bigger |
Words that you would write, they would carve into the center |
Right on target 'til they start to fill my heart up with the letters |
Shadows have shadows and it’s darker than remembered |
When this story has an ending to the part I had together with my friend |
Absence makes the heart grow fonder of the time before the absence |
And the nights spent trying to imagine |
When you played I was blinded by the magic you displayed |
I tried to reenact it in a way |
I need the dark today to see the stars decay |
Cause if I can fall asleep, then I can dream we are awake |
Another shot of Jameson and PBR to chase |
Another conversation in a seedy bar to play, right? |
Man, this side of me’s the worst |
When I’m terrified that all I’ll leave’s a dynasty of dirt |
But you believed in me and I believed your words |
So in turn, I believed in things when I would need the courage |
To move on, on and on and on and on it goes |
When I’m nodding off an awful lot to songs that you had wrote |
I want to honor all the art and progress that you showed |
I miss my confidant and honest talks allotted on the phone |
With you Mike -- I wish that I could hug you again |
It’s getting harder to pretend and I can’t undo what’s been |
Thanks for being someone I could come to, a friend |
I hope I make you proud -- I love you, the end |
Isn’t a person just a collection of their mistakes, and also their, kind of, |
undoing of their mistakes? |
I mean, what else are you? |
You know, |
you’re always… you're always just the reaction to the bad parts of yourself, |
I think. |
And I think that’s what is kind of like, a driving motivation behind |
any human being that’s…who wants to continue to grow and live life. |
‘Cause they’re looking at their flaws and trying to, go beyond it. |
And I think that a person, you know, essentially dies when they think that |
they found themselves, ya know? |
Unless you want to admit that you, yourself, |
are not an individual, and are just part of a whole… movement of ideas, |
and thought, and culture, and humanity and, furthermore, the universe, |
and everything -- unless you really feel like that, and you’re walking through |
walls, you know, you are always trying to find yourself. |
And it’s usually a |
person who believes that they’ve found «the answer» -- found «the end» -- that |
there actually is a psychological end. |
And then what’s the point of, you know, |
doing anything after that? |
