lyrics

I'll never get over how little I feel,
When people I know die.
Gone forever with so little left behind,
I mean I get why the religious,
Can soothe their aching souls
And faith away the fear,
But I believe in endings,
Yet still remain so numbed.

So when I go, I'll fear it,
And feel mine was for nothing;
I will forget myself.
And kick and scream and cry like a newborn baby.
And it will be shameful.
It will be shameful.
Yes it will be shameful.
It will be shameful,

But justified.

For you could flick off like a light switch,
Even before,
You hear the end of this sentence.
And the sentence is endless;
Hung above your heavy head;
Your human self is more vulnerable,
Than you know.
Both physically and conceptually;
The weight of the world can buckle your body,
As it shifts,
Atop your shoulders,
And mire your macabre mind,
As it drags you down,
To the ocean floor.

Or you'll die in some ancillary nursing home,
Surrounded by,
Pictures of the people who put you there,
But couldn't get out of work,
They couldn't get out of work,
To watch you die;

And that is the end of your life.
That could be the end of all our lives.
Wooo!
So let's live in the meantime.
