For The Ones I'm Missing

conscious rap, east coast hip-hop, layered vocal harmonies, infectious rhythm

(Chorus)
And they say pour one out for the ones that you miss
But I never could stand the sharp taste of the abyss
So I spark up this flower, and I watch the smoke rise
Sendin' my love to you in the star-dusted skies
It's a different kind of toast, a quiet, gentle point
For the ones I'm missin', I just smoke a joint.

(Verse 2)
To the friends who stood by me, who knew all my faults
Sharin' their dreams and takin' my vault
We swore we were family, bound by the heart
Before life's weary road pulled us all apart
Some went too early, some just faded away
But I think of you all at the end of the day
Your faces are ghosts in my favorite old tunes
Beneath the pale light of a thousand different moons.

(Bridge)
Maybe it's the haze that helps me see clear
Maybe it just softens the edges of the fear
That I'm forgetting the sound of your voice, or the way that you smiled
Just for a minute, it makes it all feel less wild.
It don't drown the pain out, not like liquor might do
It just lets me sit here and feel close to you.

(Chorus)
So I won't pour one out for the ones that I miss
I'll let this sweet smoke carry memories like this
I'll spark up this flower, and I'll watch the smoke rise
Sendin' my love to you in the star-dusted skies
It's my humble offering, my quiet, gentle point
For every soul I'm missin', I just smoke a joint.

(Outro)
This is dedicated to those  who are missing someone's love
Just a little smoke... on a quiet night...
Watching that smoke rise to the heavens above...

(Verse 1) The photo album's gathering dust on the shelf Full of stories I keep on tellin' myself There's your laugh, echoin' down through the years Chasin' away all my childhood fears You were my hero, my first best friend Thought that summer would never end But the leaves, they turned brown and they fell And I learned how to say my first farewell. (Chorus) And they say pour one out for the ones that you miss But I never could stand the sharp taste of the abyss So I spark up this flower, and I watch the smoke rise Sendin' my love to you in the star-dusted skies It's a different kind of toast, a quiet, gentle point For the ones I'm missin', I just smoke a joint. (Verse 2) To the friends who stood by me, who knew all my faults Sharin' their dreams and takin' my vault We swore we were family, bound by the heart Before life's weary road pulled us all apart Some went too early, some just faded away But I think of you all at the end of the day Your faces are ghosts in my favorite old tunes Beneath the pale light of a thousand different moons. (Chorus) And they say pour one out for the ones that you miss But I never could stand the sharp taste of the abyss So I spark up this flower, and I watch the smoke rise Sendin' my love to you in the star-dusted skies It's a different kind of toast, a quiet, gentle point For the ones I'm missin', I just smoke a joint.
