(Verse 1: Panash)
In my young life I lost a couple friends to death, Tommy D, and my brother by the name o' Clef, on the road is where they both died, man, and they both had so much drive, damn, and I ain't tryin' to make a joke of it, 'cause right now is a lump in my throat that's 'bout the size of a poker chip, they the reason that I no longer fear death, as well as the sad clown face I wear like a joker fish, at times I feel emotionless, at least that way I don't get caught up inside my feelin's o' hopelessness, I'm on some bi-polar tips, shouldn't really complain, at least I got a life that I can be hopeless with, yeah, but enough with the sad words, I'd rather pour some Bud Light out on that curb, these are just my late night thoughts that I'm ponderin', I miss my brothers, right now I'm just wonderin'
(Chorus 1: Panash)
Where are they now, I wanna know, where are they now, because I look around and I don't see 'em anymore, I'm frustrated so I'm airin' it out, where are they now, I wanna know, where are they now, and how much can you invest in everybody else before it starts wearin' ya down
(Verse 2: Christopher Michael Jensen)
In my young life, never lost a friend to death, but I've lost some friendships from senselessness, and some people I miss bitterly, I'd still be close with if they were closer in proximity, and other people in the same city as me, I don't even get a chance to talk to digitally, because they don't respond to Facebook messages, I mean how long does it take to write me back a few sentences, it troubles me, it's bubbling underneath, it's got me up at night wondering, if I can't keep a friend's company, how am I supposed to get a girl to fall in love with me or abstain from dumpin' me, everyday pain weighs on my brain, and the stress escalates, please take it away, 'cause it's tainted the way that I look at the world around me, feels like I lost them but no one found me, so I'm askin'
(Chorus 2: Christopher Michael Jensen)
Where are they now, I wanna know, where are they now, because I look around and I don't see 'em anymore, frustrated so I'm airin' it out, yeah, where are they now, I wanna know, where are they now, and how much can you invest in everybody else before it starts wearin' ya down
(Chorus 3: Panash & Christopher Michael Jensen)
Panash: Where are they now, I wanna know, where are they now, 'cause I look around and I don't see 'em anymore, frustrated so I'm airin' it out
Chris: Where are they now, I wanna know, where are they now, and how much can you invest in everybody else before it starts wearin' ya down, wearin' ya down
