[Spoken]

I had a friend who died for something he really loved

I had a friend who stood for none of the above

I had a friend whose experience was riddled with scars

Who got drunk one night in the trunk of Louie P.'s car

I had a friend who'd love to scare you, as was his affection

And tremble you did cause you weren't worthy of his friendship

I had a friend, but now he's stranded on the Mesa Street exit

And sometimes I'm jealous cause I'm still at the intersection

I had a friend whose heart was too heavy to hold

Yes, there's blood on the median like a boat without oars

Duct tape the cross on the brown colored box

Well single file line on the unpaved road

(The road)

Well they tipped their hats, respect for the dead

(The road)

In Juarez, Mexico is where they buried my friend

There are no words

To express the loss

I feel since you've been away

You made a typical sad song

A physical classroom

Where I learned nothing

Just flashes of your

Face

Just flashes of your

Face

And my solution is

It's all a facade

It's all a facade

It's all a facade

And nothing really matters

(No)

It's all a facade

It's all a facade

It's all a facade

But nothing really matters

(No)

It's all a facade

It's all a facade

I said it's all a facade

But nothing really matters now

(No)

It's all a facade

It's all a facade

I said it's all a facade

(The road)

Now he's stranded somewhere on the Mesa Street exit

(The road)

And sometimes I'm jealous 'cause I'm waiting at the intersection

(The road)

I had a friend whose heart was too heavy to hold

(Blood)

Yes, there's blood on the median like a boat without oars

(Go)

I had a friend whose heart was too heavy to hold

Too heavy to hold

Who'd felt too heavy to hold

And there's blood on the median like a boat without oars

Like a boat without oars

D-d-d-die

It's all a facade

It's all a facade

I said it's all a facade

But nothing really matters now

(No)

It's all a facade

It's all a facade

But it's all a facade

But nothing really matters now

(No)

It's all a facade

It's all a facade

It, it's all a facade

But nothing really matters now

(No)

It's all a facade

It's all a facade

I said it, it's all a facade
