You gave me language as a gift, I turned it against you[00:03:52]

I was stupid, I was young, I was hanged by my Judas tongue[00:03:52]

You shouldn't give weapons to kids that don't know better[00:03:52]

I can't possibly understand that there's no such thing as forever[00:03:52]

For every letter in the alphabet[00:03:52]

You said connect 'em to a happy word, no matter how bad things get[00:03:52]

I did my best, but the pickings got slim[00:03:52]

Once I arrived at "X" and I had to think of synonyms[00:03:52]

Weight 'em against the antonyms, I was hanging with all the mannequins[00:03:52]

Who are on a constant search for a person's amputated limbs[00:03:52]

Almost offered up my own, trading in my arms and legs[00:03:52]

You said learn to express yourself if you're gonna stand for things[00:03:52]

I stood up with that expression, stood up against everything including you[00:03:52]

I was stupid, I was adolescent, but I had your lessons to cling on to[00:03:52]

And I want you to know how much it helped[00:03:52]

Considering everything that I'd gone through[00:03:52]

It was a period without periods, run on sentences were like binges[00:03:52]

I was a comma with no cause, a rebel with no clause[00:03:52]

Anxiety is no excuse once there's nothing left to separate[00:03:52]

We could have connected, but didn't[00:03:52]

I was ignorant, passed out on the spacebar[00:03:52]

The further we drifted apart the closer[00:03:52]

I came to realizing just how amazing you are[00:03:52]

Now that you're gone I'mma say it to the stars[00:03:52]

'Till my words knock worlds off their axes and the universe collapses[00:03:52]

Thank you for the matches, for the gift of fire[00:03:52]

For the wood and the axe, for whooping my ass[00:03:52]

For the wheel even if you didn't invent it[00:03:52]

For the impact that you had on me, it's epic, thank you for the effort[00:03:52]

For teaching me the ABC's even if I never make my way to "Z"[00:03:52]

Even if I never do for someone else exactly what you did for me[00:03:52]

Thank you[00:03:52]

I was a stupid son of a gun with initials carved into me[00:03:52]

I was a stray, a runaway, afraid someday you'd shoot me[00:03:52]

So I scratched off the letters with a pocket knife[00:03:52]

It's how I loss my way when I was tossed into the fray[00:03:52]

This is not my life, who am I kidding, it's a thank you note[00:03:52]

Disguised as a written apology for everything you taught to me[00:03:52]

So awkwardly I approach the open microphone with everything that I wrote[00:03:52]

Clear my throat, adjust the collar on my coat[00:03:52]

As I rock crowds, microphones and boats and then I stroke[00:03:52]

Whatever little ego I have left, I should have left it at the alter[00:03:52]

But I didn't cause I'm an idiot, self-deprecating author[00:03:52]

With a paperback edition that isn't worth a flip through[00:03:52]

If I don't give you the credit that you deserve[00:03:52]

You edited the words from the grave and beyond[00:03:52]

From the first sign of sun raise at dawn[00:03:52]

Till the moonbeam set blaze to my lawn[00:03:52]

The universe collapses on my front steps[00:03:52]

So we get to share in that moment, for just one moment[00:03:52]

And nobody's upset, there's no more anger, there's no more sunsets[00:03:52]

So I crawl back in the chamber, you can shoot me up[00:03:52]

You might as well, we had great communication before the tower fell[00:03:52]

Thank you for the matches, for the gift of fire[00:03:52]

For the wood and the axe, for whooping my ass[00:03:52]

For the wheel even if you didn't invent it[00:03:52]

For the impact that you had on me, it's epic, thank you for the effort[00:03:52]

For teaching me the ABC's even if I never make my way to "Z"[00:03:52]

Even if I never do for someone else exactly what you did for me[00:03:52]

Thank you[00:03:52]
