I saved the messages you don't remember

To play you back when you got better

You missed the exit and went on sinking

The cancer growing // the man is shrinking

And all of that time spent laughing at life

You let down your guard and it all starts slipping away

Yeah some shit went missing // and you went missing with it

So far gone you couldn't see when you'd stopped

Pulling it off // it was painful to watch

And now it's just this old wound

I like to rub some salt in now and again

A played out cautionary tale

A worn out eulogy for a friend

Never coming back // never coming down

It must be a good good feeling

To carry you so far away

It must be some heaven

I could never understand

I saved the messages you don’t remember

To play you back when you got better

You missed the exit // went right on sinking

The cancer growing

The man succumbs
