here is a song that is fairly self explanatory.


So long gone...

so long gone
i've been erased from the picture
there's just a little frame
sitting there on its own
i've been out
i had to go out on a mission
trying to find the reasons
why people grieve

hang on now
i'm walking down this road
for the the very first time
trying to fit a tune
to a rhyme with a reason
trying to find a place
where i used to live

but it's been so long gone
it's been erased from the picture
there's 24 families
where there used to be trees
i've been out
i had to go out on a mission
trying to find the reasons
for lot less trees

when i was 4
i had an express job
counting trees for the government
and all i knew is that
they needed me to be dilligent
or maybe the man at the wheel
needed my chatter to cease

But he's been so long gone
he's been erased from the picture
and there's no little girl
counting trees on her own
i've been out
i had to go out on a mission
trying to find the reasons
why people leave

time i hit 14
well i had seen that
nothing in this life is really permanent
and as i looked for love
all i found was more decadence
another little girl
grows up to be a tease

But she's been so long gone
she's been erased from the picture
there's a little old lady
living there with her squeeze
i've been out
i had to go out on a mission
trying to find the reasons
for so much sleaze

But when I turned 20
well things had dropped to
the lowest common denominator
we neither zipped up our flies
nor opened our minds
and from the spirit of our lives
we stand sadly bereaved

But it's been so long gone
it's been erased from the picture
there's a dying blue planet
circumventing the sun
i've been out
i had to go out on a mission
trying to find the reasons
for my beliefs

but i've been so long gone
i've been erased from the picture
there's just a little frame
sitting there on its own
i've been out
i had to go out on a mission
trying to find the reasons
why people grieve
