Loss

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]

We make the music that divides you

It's handed down as a thing to cry to

And all my wars, they treat you kindly

There's nothing more important that I see

There was a time when all was empty

Unorganized, a clog, a death scene

Things opened up and there's so many

Paths to walk, ports of entry

[Chorus 1]

Now that I'm gone

Now that I'm long gone

This minute has come and gone, I

Never said to do anything but forget me

I can't be lost

I've learned everything from loss

For what's gained there's an inner cost

I won't pay it, I never would

[Verse 2]

We left the seasons back in Long Town

There was a hint of sadness goin' 'round

We met the brothers who drove arrows

And shot assumptions wide and narrow

I know I mean what I'm forgettin'

We give for everything we're gettin'

A lot that hasn't been put away

It's buildin' up for that fateful someday

[Chorus 2]

Now that I'm gone

Now that I'm long gone

This minute has come and gone, I

Never said to do anything but forget me

When it seems I'm around

Check again what's up and what's down

Many silences make a sound, I'm

Before the equation and I'm the answer

[Outro]

Oh, na na na da-da-da

Oh, da, oh, na-na-na

La da da da-da-da-da

Oh, da, oh, la-ha-ah

La da da da-da-da-da

Oh, da, oh, la-da-da

La da da da-da-da-da

Oh, lie, oh lie
