loss

Singer: frusciante, john

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

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 form loss

for what's gained there's an inner cost

i won't pay it i never would

we left the seasons back in long town

there was a hint of sadness going round

we met the brothers who drove arrows

and shot assumptions wide and narrow

i know i mean what i'm forgetting

we give for everything we're getting

a lot that hasn't been put away

it's building up for that fateful someday

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

any silences make a sound

before the equation i'm the answer
