lyrics

Don't ask me why
Don't know where he did go
Don't know when he did flee
So get lost, stay lost

So little i know and
So many answers I must now question
So get lost, stay lost

Disappearance,
he'll appear out of blue
he'll appear within red,
and get caught

Maybe he's flying and
Maybe he's under the ground that we're stepping on
So step on, step on

Last time I saw him he was brandishing a super soaker.
I cracked a smile but he wasn't in the mood for joking.
Shot it at me left my dry shirt wet.
He got that from the dollar store I'm not sure when.

Nor do I know how he got those hundred pennies.
His wallet burned his pride and the pain was unrelenting.
I remember he was wearing someone else's clothes,
Argyle socks with three stripe shoes and shell toes.

Don't ask me why, maybe he just needed some time to himself,
So get lost, stay lost
Don't ask me when he was last spotted,
It's been days, it's been weeks.
So get lost, stay lost.

He didn't seem troubled, he wasn't angry,
could be that he just wanted to get lost, stay lost.
Whereabouts unknown, stopped trying his phone
after it stopped ringing, but my last message was:

"Homie they're tracing every last footstep of your's,
and scraping resin-coated DNA from your last smoked bowl.
This is so black comedy, so the tone of our laugh is so low.
Funny joke you're pulling but you're somewhere laughing solo.
They searched your laptop all they found were passwords to porn sites,
And some of your poetry, discovered you adore life.
I brought desert to your search party.
If we all pissed you off, we're sorry.

I've known this dude since first grade
I feel so naive
His disappearing act was sudden but
so slow I feel
His absence wearing on my humor
At times I miss him so
Him drum kit sitting in his room
But on his rhythm goes
Maybe he's chasing that woman
That he pined over
I'd probably know where he went
If I'd known her
M.I.A., if you see him send him my way
We'll get him found and find out what led him astray.
