lyrics

Well, I guess if there's one thing I regret,
it's that I don't have many pictures of us together

Saul Williams wrote, "Only believers in death will die."
It always reminded me of you, cuz you were never afraid to die.

And I was wrong when I said I'd be over this by morning.
So I hopped on a plane, left the family behind,
And I haven't looked back since

These active ghosts of you haunt me in my sleep
I can only dream of you; these apparitions will have to do

I can be vulnerable, I can be a lot of things—
but afraid is not one of them; you taught me this graciously

I watched you survive when others would surely die
It just wasn't your time yet; You found a reason not to leave

My last words to you were thank you
For giving me a family, for giving me a home
And you just fell back to sleep

These active ghosts of you haunt me in my sleep
I can only dream of you; these apparitions will have to do

How does one prepare for an out of body experience?
