lyrics

My dead friend
Isn’t looking like he’s supposed to
Pile of ash in a plastic bag in a wicker basket
And his laugh
Is only comin’ out my phone now 
And he doesn’t say if he feels better now
when I ask him

My dead friend
Didn’t say where he was going
not an address or a number to keep in touch
And this sucks
Got me wrestling with a question
Is he forever thirty two in a void?
Or just dust?

I guess I just thought that I’d see you
at some random house show
Nursing a beer or out smoking a bummed cigarette
I thought that I’d wrap
my arms
Around your sullen torso
To let you know there ain’t one thing in this world
You could do to remove you
From my ride or die gang

Could’ve sworn I saw the same exact
Black bird three times
Swooping down through the blue,
Battle-worn desert sky
Well I was tired of being mad anyway
And I know that you were just plain tired
So rest now,
Just rest now
