They Always Take The Guru

(album: Only Death Is Real - 2017)

I can't believe the news, I can't catch my breath
A phone call and a message that no one expects
I don't wanna believe it but I know it's true
I'm still holding onto what's left of you

Now I know
You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
Now I know
You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone

It's nights like these that remind me
That we are all, we're all temporary
It's nights like these that remind me
That we are all, we're all temporary

Thoughts in my head keep passing
I got no answers for the questions I'm asking
Why does death touch the ones that keep us grounded?
Up to my neck in scum, fucking surrounded
When I wake up and I see who's around
Reality sets in, it makes me wanna drown
Living in a world with pieces of shit
They walk scot-free, I'm fucking sick of it

It's nights like these that remind me
That we are all, we're all temporary
It's nights like these that remind me
That we are all, we're all temporary

What has left us, the words that keep us grounded
Until my neck is not fucking surrounded
What has left us, the words that keep us grounded
Until my neck is not fucking surrounded

They always take the guru
It should have been you

Now you're gone with the wind, everything is still
I'll stay here forever to watch what you've built
