O.N.C. - You're Dead (And What Comes After)

You're dead
I never got to play my songs for you
Or say that you're my best friend too
Or spend the time we should have spent
On a million little projects

We're here
Sorting through what's left
Typing your old poems
Indexing our nevers and regrets

You didn't learn to paint but you started
I know we both loved to draw mountains
I hope you knew that too

Falling into what's left is a nice distraction
But you're dead and nothing I can ever do will change it

Today I shaved for the first time since you checked in two months ago
And I watched stress and pain fall off my face
I watched it spiral down the drain
I excavated your things from the shed
Appreciated those bones the same way you did
Then moved on as best I could

And staying in these rainy moments forever is as good as dying
And I know beyond a shadow of doubt you wouldn't want us in pain

I'm here
And I'll limp off into the sunset
Empty handed and tearstained but still moving on
And in time I'll learn to keep my promises
Goodbye my old friend, I will be strong
