They Say You Are Gone MAG
April 29, 2013
they say you are gone (where did you
go, and will you be back) i think
they are looking for you (like hide and
seek)
a crash (two deaths) a hospital (one life)
blood (i am too young to be afraid)
i don't know how to miss you (but
i do)
one brother gone (josh) one brother spared
(jon) one friend i didn't know, and i
am too young to know permanency (death)
and you are hiding (but i am not ready
to seek)
and jon is mom (is my other brother
lucas) is too young to watch a casket
lowered
lowered
lowered
and you are in it (but you are just hiding
until i am old enough to understand) forever
