Knock Over City - To Absent Friends

We were never what you'd call saints
Stealing drinks from in the cooler
Stealing smokes for our breaks
Sneaking out to my car to get high
Not wanting to go back inside
I didn't know you'd moved on from the Percs
Til Mike broke the news while we were at work
I hope that your mother and sister are fine
I hope, wherever you are, your back feels all right

To absent friends
If the needle takes them
Know the needle didn't win
If their name's on your lips

I know what it's like late at night
When the fear creeps in your room and chokes your insides
And I have doubted that I would see the sun
But I have been able so far to hold on
I don't think any less of you for going
But I just wish that you'd stayed
I hope that wherever you are you are glowing
I hope wherever you are you don't feel any pain

To absent friends
If depression takes them
Know depression didn't win
If their name's on your lips

They say you don't die until the last person you knew on the earth is gone

They say you live on
