lyrics

It was a quiet sunday morning when we found you
All stiff and frozen in your bed
I was 12 and knew not what to do
Rang up your neighbour and said 'our father's dead'

So many things that I would like to show
So many things we never shared
But I feel like you are there with me
Knowing that you cared

They burned your body in my absence
Buried you, put down a stone, made it a grave
I made my way through a troubled adolescence
They told me I was very brave

So many things that I would like to say
So many things you'll never see
I reach for you through shades of lucid dreams
Knowing it can never be

My mum still cries at certain songs in church
Me and your brother are real close friends
Unknowingly he helps me fight destructive urges
He said 'the missing never ends'

So many things that I would like to know
So many things left unsaid
But I feel like you'd be proud of me
Seeing where I'm at
