Everyone’s Missing Lyrics

Everyone’s missing
Everyone’s missing
Everyone’s missing
Everyone’s missing
But I’m still here
They saw that I missed you
They tried to replace you
Wires for tissue
But my vision’s clear

Keep our beauty hidden
Don’t steal it
A portal to wisdom
We see it

When everyone's gone
Tell me what you gone do
And the memory's strong
I know what you been through
Everything feels wrong
Like a tree with no fruit
If they made a blue print
Then I guess I'm brand new

Everyone’s missing
Everyone’s missing
Everyone’s missing
Everyone’s missing
But I’m still here
Voice of my mother
Look down at my brother
The image was obscure
And blurry from tears

Keep our beauty hidden
Don’t steal it
A portal to wisdom
We see it
So tell me

When everyone's gone
Tell me what you gone do
And the memory's strong
I know what you been through
Everything feels wrong
Like a tree with no fruit
If they made a blue print
Then I guess I'm brand new

So tell me where to go
Tell me where to go
Tell me where to go

Grief and mourning Kendo
Tragedies assemble
My eyes flood and tremble
Close the lid be gentle
It mocks me when I’m wishful
Grab my guts by the fistful
This loss is crude and simple
Hunt me down like a Bengal
Hands up still bang bang bang
Crowd control is non lethal
But an LRAD’s the exact same thing
Miles to go until “We the people”
Said earn respect like we used to
Had sharp suits and they spoke well
MLK was respectable
Still gunned down in that motel
I’m tired of vigils we been blowing the whistle
Straight homicide but then he gets acquittal
They say patience like it’s some kind of riddle
Ignoring the heat and just play the fiddle
This starship is my temple
Your jetlag is just mental
Wish I could switch the bodies
Take you out like Bento

When everyone's gone
Tell me what you gone do
And the memory's strong
I know what you been through
Everything feels wrong
Like a tree with no fruit
If they made a blue print
Then I guess I'm brand new

So tell me where to go
Tell me where to go
Tell me where to go
