lyrics
Someone great went away today
In a quiet and inevitable way
I was with a friend when the phone call came
Now it's not the same
She gave me someone to hold
But still everything went cold
I could hear my mother's tears on the phone
Each moment, more alone
He'll live on in my memory
Not immortal but dying with me
And in my mind's eye I can see
The man who fixed all of my toys
Who was there when I was just a boy
The man who eased my parent's pain
When they struggled to get by again
Yes, the memory still remains
And I know some day we all die
So I promise that I won't cry
But if your daughters said that they would lie
For them, there is no goodbye
In a quiet and inevitable way
I was with a friend when the phone call came
Now it's not the same
She gave me someone to hold
But still everything went cold
I could hear my mother's tears on the phone
Each moment, more alone
He'll live on in my memory
Not immortal but dying with me
And in my mind's eye I can see
The man who fixed all of my toys
Who was there when I was just a boy
The man who eased my parent's pain
When they struggled to get by again
Yes, the memory still remains
And I know some day we all die
So I promise that I won't cry
But if your daughters said that they would lie
For them, there is no goodbye

The Arizona band do right by post-hardcore on their immersive new LP, leavening untempered breakdowns with carefully-measured catharsis.
