Loss Lyrics

"Loss"

by John Frusciante

from The Will To Death (2004)

We make the music that divides you

It's handed down as a thing to cry to

And all my wars they treat you kindly

There's nothing more important that i see

There was a time when all was empty

Unorganized a clog a death scene

Things opened up and there's so many

Paths to walk ports of entry

Now that I'm gone

Now that i'm long gone

This minute has come and gone

I never said to do anything but forget me

I can't be lost

I've learned everything from loss

For what's gained there's an inner cost

I won't pay it i never would

We left the seasons back in Long Town

There was a hint of sadness going round

We met the brothers who drove arrows

And shot assumptions wide and narrow

I know i mean what i'm forgetting

We give for everything we're getting

A lot that hasn't been put away

It's building up for that fateful someday

Now that i'm gone

When it seems i'm around

Check again what's up and what's down

Any silences make a sound

before the equation i'm the answer
