i can’t believe you’re gone

Lyrics

Another year passes of hopes and derailments Blood tests and Hi-Chews and loving the careless Litigate the family, our father's condition Better-man speeches whilst caveman traditions [Chorus] But inches of glory and the leaps of true faith No, they don't come easy but they honor the way That another day over, a moment or a year Bring me right back to the start with the same damn words I fear [Verse 2] So you retrace the steps and you dust the path for prints There's a wasteland in you, is there something you've missed? These grand self-obsessions are a way of hitting snooze The truth is too dark and there is too much to lose [Chorus] But inches of glory and the leaps of true faith No, they don't come easy but they honor the ways That another day over a moment or a year Bring me right back to the start with the same damn words I feared I can't believe you're gone [Verse 3] There's the car that we drove when you were still around Some clothing and wallpaper, a Burger King crown Sand bottles and essays outlive you, how wrong This room is a nightmare, this room is my god [Chorus] It's where I'll finish the wire, where my face hits the floor Where I chose to leave, where the god met the whore Some days, a giant, and others, a kid And some days I'm too scared to even fucking begin ‘Cause I can't believe you're gone [Verse 4] Well, maybe we should all move back in as a family Torture each other during TV hours Talk about money, our father's condition And be real about that one true thing we're all missing [Chorus] And you know it's a leap, but sometimes you wanna say That tonight's the night and we're gonna be okay These hope-filled lies, these unearned traditions If you repeat them enough, you can live with somebody who's missing
