mendoza’s book of friends (a footnote)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I think I'm done I don't want to live forever You think I'm so good Well I think you're better Maybe I shouldn't be like this all the time But maybe I could find peace In where I reside [Chorus] Stay a while, I'm stuck Reading this book of friends that I can never open up Even with the passing time Time to wait, to find another day When I go to bed Put Mendoza's list to rest [Verse 2] It's something that I couldn't even tell myself Or maybe its the thought that I really do need some help And even then I sit here thinking "I don't need them" But I feel their presence leading to a life I never thought I needed [Bridge] And looking down those names I see my soul Past lives, transgressions, & the loss of my home Now I think about it I don't wanna be alone Damn it I'll check my phone [Chorus] "Stay a while, unstuck You are more free than ever It's not time to open up You callous mind, passing time Time to wait, to find another day What will you have to say When all of this goes away" Take your time, my friend Your life is far from over
