Flobots - On Loss and Having Lyrics
[Verse 1]It must have been a dream but it felt so realSaw the wounds, heard the screams, thought about your last mealHow we ate like kings, how you led us all in graceHow nobody had forseen what would soon take placeAnd when everything went downThe silence you left was the strangest soundDangerous town but we all felt safeCause we knew that you slept with the angels nowRumors keep coming inA few thousand missing you just like mePeople keep running into youI've got a feeling that you might be alive(Rata tat tat, bum bum bum bumIt's the sound of a gat and the sound of a drumBut whatever you attach to is what you becomeOne plus one, double horizontal line one)[Hook]This is not fair, this is not pure, this is not rightTrust me, when it's all over you will see the lightLive by the sword, die by the sword, but Jesus ChristWe shot that mother*****er right between the eyesI offer these thoughts on loss and havingYou're here but you're not, you're near but you're notI offer these thoughts on loss and havingYou're here but you're not, you're near but you're not[Verse 2]Staring at the safety sleeveThese tingling feelings just won't leaveI can't sleep, anxiety dreamsI need a repreive, I need caffeineSet the stage, my lips don't seem, ? missing piece ???Walking the streets, haunted by beatsFollow my lead by the loss that I bleedScream in the dark, but it's off keyBow breaks in the powerful breezeI hold my breath and the hours would freeze'Til they tomorrows may bringSquandered time didn't know you would leavePart of me was lost in the seaAnd the cost of these losses I found it in meReplacing my friends ????[Hook]This is not fair, this is not pure, this is not rightTrust me, when it's all over you will see the lightLive by the sword, die by the sword, but Jesus ChristWe shot that mother*****er right between the eyesI offer these thoughts on loss and havingYou're here but you're not, you're near but you're notI offer these thoughts on loss and havingYou're here but you're not, you're near but you're not
