So Long Friend

Today I wasn't even gonna take a shower,

And then I got a call sayin' that my cousin died in a fire.

So I washed myself for what seemed like three hours

With tears and rusty water.

I need some of that Calgon take me away.

Action, immediately

Before I start scrubbing my hands hard repeatedly

I'm stuck somewhere lethargic between reality

And a fucking Tool video

Wake me UP



I've said goodbye too many times in these 22 long ones

And here I am waving again,

So long friend

I shoulda told her how this town doesn't like it when people leave

So it finds ways to keep em'

It sows seeds and reaps em'

Now she's part of this harvest

Different from all the others

Ask her mother how her smile touched souls and warmed cold hearts

Monique I miss you

I wish I coulda kissed you farewell

And given you that tattoo you always asked for

and when I'm done tatin' thug life on god's stomach

You got next

I'm done

You gotta take what you want from it

I'm going to wash my hands

I miss you girl
