| Things lately all seem so tragic
 | 
| The self-destruction's been gathering
 | 
| Memories I’m hardly fathoming
 | 
| Did they happen to me or someone I used to love that sounded like a piece of me
 | 
| leaving?
 | 
| Every seven years, these cells are replaced
 | 
| My body is part soil, part water, part garbage, maybe part you
 | 
| Where did the DNA information travel?
 | 
| Did I hold on too tight?
 | 
| Did I harbor it?
 | 
| I don’t know
 | 
| Have I grown to love the world around me because I built it?
 | 
| Did I allow myself to experience life or just an echo chamber for the wicked?
 | 
| I guess I never asked what would happen if the doctor got sick
 | 
| Because to me, healers were never people, they were part of a service,
 | 
| and now I’m scared I’ve abused it
 | 
| So where do good people go when they die, the ones you reject?
 | 
| I wish you would disappear again so I could find myself
 | 
| I’ll swallow my pride if it means I wouldn’t be so afraid of hell
 | 
| Embellished or simply untrue
 | 
| When I look into a mirror, can I still say, «I love you»?
 | 
| Whatever whispered back «I love you, too,» was my reflection ashamed of the
 | 
| words I’ve shared?
 | 
| When I turned on myself, will there be another pain to bear?
 | 
| And with all of this, I keep the curtains shut
 | 
| The sun reminds me of better days
 | 
| I don’t think about it too much
 | 
| I keep my heart in my back pocket and my mind trapped in the strain
 | 
| And now I just take it day by day
 | 
| I miss looking up to Bill Cosby
 | 
| I miss innocence
 | 
| I miss being selfish
 | 
| I miss Gene Wilder and Garry Shandling
 | 
| I miss being afraid of marijuana
 | 
| I miss when my friends hated me
 | 
| I miss Jersey Shore
 | 
| I miss being afraid of the dark
 | 
| I missed my grandma’s funeral to play music for 15 kids
 | 
| I miss not having to hate myself to feel like I’m balancing out the score
 | 
| I miss not being sick
 | 
| I miss the pity I got when I was sick
 | 
| I miss loving those around
 | 
| I miss embracing hope
 | 
| I miss when my heroes seemed perfect, but thank God they’ve been called out,
 | 
| 'cause I’m not living in the sickening ignorance
 | 
| I miss me
 | 
| I miss myself
 | 
| I miss feeling lovely
 | 
| I miss feeling loved
 | 
| I miss feeling love
 | 
| I missed three calls from you because I was watching TV
 | 
| Not even a show I liked, just a show that I got sucked into
 | 
| One of those shows about home renovations
 | 
| I hated it, but I had to know if the seafoam tile in the bathroom would come in
 | 
| under budget
 | 
| I miss the bad weather
 | 
| I miss excuses
 | 
| I miss the smell of a dinner being cooked for my whole family under one roof
 | 
| I miss blank stares from across the room
 | 
| I missed my moment to love you the right way the first time and I’m still
 | 
| beating myself up for it
 | 
| I miss a lot of things
 | 
| I miss nothing
 | 
| I miss the nothingness that comes with missing nothing
 | 
| But I miss the something I feel when I miss something
 | 
| Or everything, or nothing
 | 
| I miss skating
 | 
| I miss watching you sing, even though I never heard you do it before
 | 
| I miss those nights when my knees would hit the bedroom floor, 'cause I still
 | 
| believed in the power of praying
 | 
| I miss the days where I didn’t believe in prayer at all, 'cause there was no
 | 
| guilt
 | 
| I miss watching Boy Meets World with my babysitter
 | 
| He’s the one who showed me P.O.D. | 
| and since then, I’ve been much happier
 | 
| I miss me
 | 
| I miss myself
 | 
| I miss feeling lovely
 | 
| I miss feeling loved
 | 
| I miss feeling love
 | 
| And someday, when my bones are dust, and my DNA’s been spread through the
 | 
| garbage behind your house, I hope you also miss me
 | 
| The first time one of my friends started smoking cigarettes I thought, «This is the end of him, he’s gonna lose himself in this»
 | 
| Not realizing a pack a day was common for the people around me
 | 
| I was just blinded to it 'cause it never happened in my own family
 | 
| And I was afraid of perspective
 | 
| Now I’m afraid of perspective
 | 
| And I’m afraid of perspective
 | 
| And I’m afraid of perspective
 | 
| 'Cause it’ll chase me

 | 
| Death is not a moment in our lives
 | 
| Death is constant
 | 
| And our lives are a moment
 | 
| So when we choose to spend our lives hating someone else
 | 
| It’s a moment
 | 
| We hate something we see
 | 
| In ourselves |
