lyrics
Dan was my friend we’d smoke pot down in the dock’s parking lot
talking about sophomoric stuff escaping ourselves with mental fluff
what’s that you say Dan your dad got sick with stage four intrusive bladder cancer?
there’s a silent brake while we exhale it’s obvious we don’t know what to say
but as we lost ourselves in chemicals to cope
your dad was getting tested and finding new hope
in the teachings of Jesus his friends and the Church
things that you and I knew were naïve ways of feeling less hurt
then there was that day when all of your extended family came over and everyone was crying and praying when you went and sat down by your dad on the couch you reached out to touch his arm and realized he wasn’t just asleep
at the funeral I cracked jokes about god prayer and death notes
starring at his thin stiff raisin corpse looking like something not himself
oh my dear Dan why couldn’t I muster up any more hope for you that day
the oppressive pessimism I carried weighs on me to this day
then I lost my patience when you lost your cool
expelling shots in the kitchen with a face full of drool
then we moved apart and you lived in your car
since then I haven’t seen you in years
I hear you’re working at a gas station near here
so what’s the point of being right
my god this was someone’s life
what’s the point of finding truth
if it leaves you frozen isolated and aloof
Dan was my friend but now he is not
lately I’ve been thinking about that a lot
I’d like to think it was a righteous cause
another second gone a moment lost
an abstract of life’s entire plot
talking about sophomoric stuff escaping ourselves with mental fluff
what’s that you say Dan your dad got sick with stage four intrusive bladder cancer?
there’s a silent brake while we exhale it’s obvious we don’t know what to say
but as we lost ourselves in chemicals to cope
your dad was getting tested and finding new hope
in the teachings of Jesus his friends and the Church
things that you and I knew were naïve ways of feeling less hurt
then there was that day when all of your extended family came over and everyone was crying and praying when you went and sat down by your dad on the couch you reached out to touch his arm and realized he wasn’t just asleep
at the funeral I cracked jokes about god prayer and death notes
starring at his thin stiff raisin corpse looking like something not himself
oh my dear Dan why couldn’t I muster up any more hope for you that day
the oppressive pessimism I carried weighs on me to this day
then I lost my patience when you lost your cool
expelling shots in the kitchen with a face full of drool
then we moved apart and you lived in your car
since then I haven’t seen you in years
I hear you’re working at a gas station near here
so what’s the point of being right
my god this was someone’s life
what’s the point of finding truth
if it leaves you frozen isolated and aloof
Dan was my friend but now he is not
lately I’ve been thinking about that a lot
I’d like to think it was a righteous cause
another second gone a moment lost
an abstract of life’s entire plot
