and now I can't see you

You had your ashes scattered at sea

There's no grave to visit no tombstone to look at

The cheeks of his mother the eyes of his father

As each day crashed around him the future stood revealed

you're smoking a cigarette

Life's like a mayonnaise soda
And life's like space without room
And life's like bacon and ice cream
That's what life's like without you

When you pass through the fire, you pass through humble
You pass through a maze of self doubt
When you pass through humble, the lights can blind you
Some people never figure that out
