|
| Is this how I die?
|
| Ridiculed and laughed at
|
| Wearing clown shoes
|
| Is this how I die?
|
| Furious and reckless
|
| Sick with booze
|
| How did I live?
|
| I taste every wasted minute
|
| Every time I turned away
|
| From the things that might have healed me
|
| How long have I been sleeping?
|
| Is this how I die?
|
| Frightened like a child
|
| Lazy and numb
|
| Is this how I die?
|
| Pretending and preposterous
|
| And dumb
|
| How did I live?
|
| Was I kind enough and good enough?
|
| Did I love enough?
|
| Did I ever look up
|
| And see the moon
|
| And the stars
|
| And the sky?
|
| Oh why have I been sleeping?
|
| They say we are asleep
|
| Until we fall in love
|
| We are children of dust and ashes
|
| But when we fall in love we wake up
|
| And we are a God
|
| And angels weep
|
| But if I die here tonight
|
| I die in my sleep
|
| All of my life I spent searching the words
|
| Of poets and saints and prophets and kings
|
| And now at the end all I know that I’ve learned
|
| Is that all that I know is I don’t know a thing
|
| So easy to close off
|
| Place the blame outside
|
| Hiding in my room at night
|
| So terrified
|
| All the things I could have been
|
| But I never had the nerve
|
| Life and love
|
| I don’t deserve
|
| So all right, all right
|
| I’ve had my time
|
| Close my eyes
|
| Let the death bells chime
|
| Bury me in burgundy
|
| I just don’t care
|
| Nothing’s left
|
| I looked everywhere
|
| Is this how I die?
|
| Was there ever any other way my life could be?
|
| Is this how I die?
|
| Such a storm of feelings inside of me?
|
| But then why am I screaming?
|
| Why am I shaking?
|
| Oh God, was there something that I missed?
|
| Did I squander my divinity?
|
| Was happiness within me the whole time?
|
| They say we are asleep
|
| Until we fall in love
|
| We are children of dust and ashes
|
| But when we fall in love we wake up
|
| And we are a God
|
| And angels weep
|
| But if I die here tonight
|
| I die in my sleep
|
| They say we are asleep
|
| Until we fall in love
|
| And I’m so ready
|
| To wake up now
|
| I want to wake up
|
| Don’t let me die while I’m like this
|
| I want to wake up
|
| God don’t let me die while I’m like this
|
| Please let me wake up now
|
| God don’t let me die while I’m like this
|
| I’m ready
|
| I’m ready
|
| To wake up |
