Lyrics

[Verse 1] You should've turned 30 this year You should've been pursuing an art career Would've made a great civil engineer You could've won championship rings You could've stuck with the drums, I'd sing You could've been so many things [Verse 2] They let a brilliant mind like yours Waste away behind a locked door Two and a half weeks, four walls And a cold concrete floor And you spoke three languages But there's no talking your way out of this I know I wouldn't have lasted as long as you did [Chorus] I haven't been in the same room since I was 23 And I always thought I'd see you again eventually [Verse 3] And the last time we spoke I was chasing you down for money you owed (I don't have a rhyme for this, I'm just ashamed) Too broke to fly out to the service Never seen the plot you're buried in But I think about you every day [Chorus] And I haven't been in the same room since I was 23 I always thought I'd see you again eventually Like something on TV, catch up like old friends over coffee But sometimes there's no cutscenes or resolutions Just endings [Outro] --news has obtained an internal review by Immigration and Customs Enforcement that reveals how staff at an immigration detention center in Georgia violated agency regulations in the case of a detainee who died by suicide in 2017. 27-year-old Jean Carlos Jiménez-Joseph killed himself after being held in solitary confinement for 18 days at ICE's Stewart Detention Center.
