The flagrant disregard 
And the ground is hard 
When I meet it face to face
Do you think I know my place
Coz when I catch your eye 
Somehow I know we’re gonna die 
Together in a storm of bullets 
Did you grow out that mullet 
That you had cut so tight 
I guess it’s okay, alright 
If I let you see the sky 
And you ask me why 
I fold the paper just so 
But I could never let go 
Of what I found in the ashes 
And you just batt your lashes 
I look at the atm and it cashes 
More than I ever thought I earned 
I watched as cities burned 
And all I could think was thank God he’s not there 
Did you realise I care 
More than I had let on 
And there is a space where you are gone 
And it fills up my heart 
With an absent longing and I start 
To visualise you in my room 
As we dance with doom 
Like it’s a slow song 
I ask you what I did wrong 
And you spit “nothing” into my face
We hang up like it’s a race 
To reach the finish line 
You say okay and I say fine 
And we don’t speak for ten years or more 
But it’s still you I adore 
As I leave crumbs and clues 
And pay more than my dues 
To deserve what you give 
You were the boy God let live
