The cats still walk the house Looking for you They hover and they howl Through every room I see it in their eyes Begging to say "good bye" The cats still walk the house looking for you The dogs lay by the door Waiting for you Head resting on the floor Nothing to do With every passing car I see that little spark Then I watch them start all over I stand in the room where you used to be I stare into the nothingness as it swallows me I melt into the cracks I'm never coming back I stand in your room and I'm gone I stand in your room and I'm gone I feel my pocket shake But it's nothing Some pointless notification About nothing

Heat Death 04:54
It's been a long time since you went away But it still feels like yesterday Keeping my head down, trying to stay sane Like I've got a choice - like there's any other way Your first birthday without a call Felt like it never even happened at all I'm sitting around staring into the dark Writing new songs on your old guitars When a levee breaks it takes and takes No sympathy at all Waves of desolation Making fools out of us all I don't like change Friends all packed up and leaving town Favorite restaurant are shutting down The end of an era - end of the line Praying for answers - wasting my time You're six foot even then you're six feet down I'm watching all of my hair fall out We got trade-in value for a totaled car And a star is born as another dies out When a heart breaks it takes and takes Eclipsing every star These worlds that die inside us Make up most of who we are I don't like change And it's cinematic, it's mise en scene The movie's over, we're moving on But there's a sequel in production The same old writer but a new direction I don't like change I don't like change I don't like change I don't like change I don't like change I don't like change I don't like change I don't like change I don't like change I don't like change I don't like change I don't like change I don't like change I don't like change I don't like change I don't like change I don't like change I don't like change I don't like change I don't like change I don't like change

about

March 8th is the first anniversary of my dad's death. It's been hard to process all of it in any meaningful way but I'm trying. I've been writing a lot over the past year but these two are the only ones about this that I think are good enough to put out right now... but maybe there will be more. Who knows?

I love you, Dad.
Thanks for everything.
