Flobots - On Loss And Having Lyrics

[Verse 1: Jonny 5]
It must have been a dream but it felt so real
Saw the wounds, heard the screams, thought about your last meal
How we ate like kings, how you led us all in grace
How nobody had forseen what would soon take place
And when everything went down
The silence you left was the strangest sound
Dangerous town but we all felt safe
Cause we knew that you slept with the angels now
Rumors keep coming in
A few thousand missing you just like me
People keep running into you
I've got a feeling that you might be alive

(Rat-a-tat-tat, bum bum bum bum
It's the sound of a gat and the sound of a drum
But whatever you attach to is what you become
One plus one, double horizontal line one )
You might be alive
(Rata tat tat, bum bum bum bum
It's the sound of a gat and the sound of a drum
But whatever you attach to is what you become
One plus one, double horizontal line one )

[Hook]
This is not fair, this is not pure, this is not right
Trust me, when it's all over, you will see the light
Live by the sword, die by the sword, but Jesus Christ
We shot that motherfucker right between the eyes
I offer these thoughts on loss and having
You're here but you're not, you're near but you're not
I offer these thoughts on loss and having
You're here but you're not, you're near but you're not

[Verse 2: Brer Rabbit]
Standing at the safety sleeve
These tingling feelings just won't leave
I can't sleep, anxiety dreams
I need a reprieve, I need caffeine
Set the stage, my mise-en-scene
My missing piece, I'll be zombie
Walking the streets, haunted by beats
Who follow my lead by the loss that I bleed
Scream at the dark, but it's off key
Bough breaks in this powerful breeze
I hold my breath that the hours would freeze
'Til they [suffer all devils?] tomorrows may bring
Squandered our time, didn't know you would leave
And a part of me was lost in the sea
And the cost of this loss is: I found it in me
It's in the place where my friends and my neighbors used to be

[Hook]
This is not fair, this is not pure, this is not right
Trust me, when it's all over, you will see the light
Live by the sword, die by the sword, but Jesus Christ
We shot that motherfucker right between the eyes
I offer these thoughts on loss and having
You're here but you're not, you're near but you're not
I offer these thoughts on loss and having
You're here but you're not, you're near but you're not
