Loss

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
We make the music that divides you
It's handed down as a thing to cry to
And all my wars, they treat you kindly
There's nothing more important that I see
There was a time when all was empty
Unorganized, a clog, a death scene
Things opened up and there's so many
Paths to walk, ports of entry

[Chorus 1]
Now that I'm gone
Now that I'm long gone
This minute has come and gone, I
Never said to do anything but forget me
I can't be lost
I've learned everything from loss
For what's gained there's an inner cost
I won't pay it, I never would

[Verse 2]
We left the seasons back in Long Town
There was a hint of sadness goin' 'round
We met the brothers who drove arrows
And shot assumptions wide and narrow
I know I mean what I'm forgettin'
We give for everything we're gettin'
A lot that hasn't been put away
It's buildin' up for that fateful someday

[Chorus 2]
Now that I'm gone
Now that I'm long gone
This minute has come and gone, I
Never said to do anything but forget me
When it seems I'm around
Check again what's up and what's down
Many silences make a sound, I'm
Before the equation and I'm the answer

[Outro]
Oh, na na na da-da-da
Oh, da, oh, na-na-na
La da da da-da-da-da
Oh, da, oh, la-ha-ah
La da da da-da-da-da
Oh, da, oh, la-da-da
La da da da-da-da-da
Oh, lie, oh lie
