​mendoza’s book of friends (a footnote)

[Verse 1]
I think I'm done
I don't want to live forever
You think I'm so good
Well I think you're better
Maybe I shouldn't be like this all the time
But maybe I could find peace
In where I reside

[Chorus]
Stay a while, I'm stuck
Reading this book of friends that
I can never open up
Even with the passing time
Time to wait, to find another day
When I go to bed
Put Mendoza's list to rest

[Verse 2]
It's something that I couldn't even tell myself
Or maybe its the thought that I really do need some help
And even then I sit here thinking "I don't need them"
But I feel their presence leading to a life I never thought I needed

[Bridge]
And looking down those names I see my soul
Past lives, transgressions, & the loss of my home
Now I think about it I don't wanna be alone
Damn it I'll check my phone

[Chorus]
"Stay a while, unstuck
You are more free than ever
It's not time to open up
You callous mind, passing time
Time to wait, to find another day
What will you have to say
When all of this goes away"

Take your time, my friend
Your life is far from over
