Zachary called himself an old man / said he could see through things / people and walls / said he discovered it all / Zack would hold my head in his hands / callused and shushing / it's okay to be wrong / learn and move on / I called him dad once and he slammed / the brakes bad timing / we'll never get to the mall / they said it wasn't my fault / nobody would believe / Zack wrote poetry / odes and elegies / Zack wrote poetry / they asked me if he had any folks / he burnt all his bridges / with what the flames forgot / he built a see-saw / loneliness could serve you well / he'd say / loneliness could serve you well / laughing at the way my shirt fits / grumpy when he's happy / didn't want to talk / he'd listen all day long / coughing up the dust that he bit / he said someone's always listening / blood and froth / live and move on / nobody would believe / Zack wrote poetry / odes and elegies / Zack wrote poetry / loneliness could serve you well / he'd say / loneliness could serve you well
