One day I'll be more flesh than bone
You'll be someone I used to know
Your remains in my new belt holes, nights alone
In loose clothing, I wait
And have u appear in my thoughts
Is solitude a lighting rod?
You'll be there but I will not
I left my body not too long ago
Parliaments we'd ash
Where we sat
Used to talk
You were holding back some words
Grew up in fear of god
Thought of you as a soft-spoken and my love
Thought of myself as ours
He'd say don't you write this
Were raised in separate guidance
We came from different vices
And mine will talk to me in my sleep
My dreams, when I'm awake
Until I'm 27
From another life
It wasn't right to keep me around
Nothing about you I recognize
Was it hard to find a souvenir worth lying for?
Do you remember what you were like
Is that who I remind you of?
Shorter hair and wider eyes
Higher hopes of who we'd become
I know he wouldn't like this
But we're beyond politeness
He craves a hollow silence
'Cause he'll hear honesty in his sleep
His dreams
When he's awake
Until he's 27
We were good back then
Was it all pretend?
It's been so long since
We were kids
(We were kids, you and me)
Have u been good since then?
We'll never be again
I'll never be again
I'll never need again
I'll never see you live
