about

written for the late actor Phillip Seymour Hoffman

lyrics

What makes someone go down like that, to a place from which he can’t get back
Not just anyone, but the best at what he does, who always stood out from the pack

You played hundreds of characters, played and lived them all the way
Who else could do it, and who would want to throw it all away?

to do your work you had to visit the darkness, stray so far from conformity
Is the fix that good, is the high that high, that it’s worth checking out for all eternity

I could namecheck all the movies that I saw you in, make a list long and full of magic
But I never thought that list would end like this, so damn tragic

You played hundreds of characters, played and lived them all the way
Who else could do it, and who would want to throw it all away?
