Lyrics

“Lives”


Everyone’s afraid of their own life

If you could be anything you want I bet you’d be disappointed

Am I right?


No one really knows the ones they love.

If you knew everything they thought I bet you’d wish that they’d just shut

Up


Well you were the dull sound of sharp math when you were alive

Not ones gonna play the harp when you die

And if I had a nickel for every damn dime I might have half the time

Do you mind?


Everyone’s afraid of their own life

If you could be anything you want I bet you’d be disappointed

Am I right?


It’s hard to remember we’re alive for the first time.

It’s hard to remember we’re alive for the last time.

It’s hard to remember to live before you die.

It’s hard to remember that our lives are such a short time.

It’s hard to remember what it takes such a short time.

It’s hard to remember to live before you die.

It’s hard to remember


My mom’s god is a woman and my mom she is a witch.

I like this

My hell comes from inside comes from inside myself.

Why fight this


Everyone’s afraid of their own life

If you could be anything you want I bet you’d be disappointed

Am I right?
