Friends that are better than me, faces that I should have seen

Its all so easy to live for some

Just eat and pray and laugh and come

by to check on me

Just to smile at me and know you've faced the thing you love

Which time has left with a dove

          thats deaf 

          and dumb

It can fly but its alone

surrounded by the ghosts of some

Time has its way

as it slowly separates.

A lariat to keep at bay

That which seems to say

i love you and one day you will go away

and the time that we had

it fades 

in haze

and the faces I should have gazed upon

arnt even a dream

They're just fucking gone.
